Hi
I am being treated at Mayo with stage 1a Pancreatic Cancer. The plan my Doctors have in place is 8 sessions of chemotherapy and have a CT scan and PET MR scan every 2 months.
Because the connection between the oncology department and surgical is so much tighter ... I don't mean assessed in the sense additional scans are fine, but it does mean blood tests are assessed immediately, and, while I have no experience in this regard, Mayo's team would be able to more quickly change chemo regimens.
