Surgical options for borderline resectable/locally advanced tumors

I am being seen at Sloan Kettering Memorial Cancer Center in NYC. My CA 19-9 numbers have been falling, the most recent of 200 was after 5 sessions of chemo, I started at 1750. I know many things can happen and the CA 19-9 doesn't tell about the state of the blood vessels but it seemed encouraging to me that I seemed to be pointed in the right direction anyway. I will see the surgeon at MSKCC again after the 8th chemo.

I think you're in good shape. Have you considered going to see Dr. Truty? He wants CA 19-9 numbers to be in normal range before any surgery. The fact that they've already come down to 200 for you after 5 sessions is really promising.
