Good Morning @wjk . The size of my husband's tumor was 5.8cm in the head of the pancreas. Partial response to neoadjuvant treatment and at time of removal was 5.4cm. No signs of metastasis on any scans (CT, PET, MRI, and diagnostic laparoscopy) but due to the size he is staged at IIA. 8 rounds of chemo (Folfirinox) pre-surgery and doing the final 4 now (last one is June 13th).
