New diagnosis: locally advanced pancreatic cancer

@robee Thanks for your reply. I searched for the pancreatic cancer centers of excellence and came across the National Pancreas Foundation site, which I assume is the one you referred to. (Sorry, I can't post the link yet.) It raises a question. In the drop-down menu list of PC centers of excellence, my hospital is listed. But when you below that drop-down menu, down to the locater map and search by location, my hospital comes up only as a pancreatitis center of excellence. I can't explain why the two lists would differ, but it concerns me because, of course, I want the best pancreatic cancer care. Pancreatitis isn't my issue. I guess I'll call them tomorrow and see what they say.

Here are links to NCI designated centers of excellence and the Precision Promise Consortium of pancreatic cancer centers that the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network has organized-

@ncteacher, you're right. There is a brief period where new members can't post links. We do this to deter spammers and keep the community safe. You will be able to add URLs to your posts in a few days. Clearly the link you wanted to post is not spam. Please allow me to post it for you.

You may also wish to contact the NPF to let them know of the discrepancy in their lists. This may just be a technical error on the part of the person inputting the data.
