mayoconnectyser1,

Thanks very much for your reply. How is it possible to be assessed "every day" at Rochester while receiving chemo?

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.

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.
