Hi,
Surgery, July 2022, was at Hartford Hospital in Connecticut. There was no spread of disease locally and 16 of 16 lymph nodes showed no disease. I had 6 months of Folferinox chemotherapy to chase down cancer cells in my body, but some still landed in my liver. I have seen statistics that point to a slightly better than even chance that chemo can fail in those cases. No radiation. I went on another chemo regimen for six more months, but it could not stop the tumor from growing a little. It's a tough cancer to beat. I hope my experience is helpful for you. Best wishes.
