Not locally advanced--it's actually stage 4

I have stage 4 pancreatic cancer. The main tumor is in the body of the pancreas; the laparoscopy last week found multiple flat, thin nodules on my diaphragm and elsewhere in my abdomen. (I don't have a specific number of nodules, nor do I think they could really count accurately anyway.) I don't have any info other than that. They are going to test tissue samples to see which drug(s) the cells respond to. Right now, we'll start with modified Folfirinox.

Do you know what kind of cancerous tumors you have? For example, I have stage IV pancreatic cancer with neuroendocrine tumors. Please ask away. Some one on here has valuable input but the type of tumor makes a difference on treatment. I hope I am making sense?
