I see your response now to @hawk32 that you are having full removal now. So the radiation didn't work? Crickard70 in some ways you are very lucky. My last round of chemo was the end of June 2023, and unfortunately it appears it might just beginning to come back. The only indication I have is that my CA19-9 is rising very quickly. I'm getting another CA19-9 in a few days to see if I am once again in the "cancer zone". If it does demonstrate that, then I can thank
@markymark and other other commenter on their replies to a post I made which made me become more assertive with my drs about asking for further testing. I'll be getting a PET scan and the Sigatera test very soon. My oncologist also alluded to radiation, but I'm wondering if the majority of tumors that come back at the site of resection, why don't we all just get the entire pancreas removed to begin with as it seems those nasty microscopic cells are just lying in wait there. Is it because the surgery would be too much for the body to handle at one time? Does anyone know? I'm with you in Spirit and will be praying for you. Please post when able after your surgery!
