Where is best place to go for second opinion for stage 4 pancreatic?

Yes I would definitely like a second opinion.

They found 3 small leisons on her liver meaning she is not a candidate for surgery here in Edmonton but our dr said some centers like the mayo clinic are doing things like the whipper procedure and removing the liver lesions at the time. Do you know if the Mayo clinic does this?

We don’t have the liver biopsy done yet tho. They can’t get my mom in until next week.

Yes, Mayo Clinic does Whipple surgery. Dr. Truty is a lead oncology surgeon at Mayo Clinic. You may wish to search for him on Google or in the discussions here on Mayo Clinic Connect to connect with pancreatic patients and caregivers who have been to Mayo Clinic. Simply use the search terms "Truty" or "Mayo" in the search field of the Pancreatic Cancer support group here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/pancreatic-cancer/
