Colleen,

It's only been a month since we were given the news. He is having a PET scan on the 21st. The port inserted next week, with modified Folfirinox starting on the 27th for minimum of 6 weeks then scans to see if the tumor has shrank to have surgery.

Like all that are going through this with a loved one, I am scared for him. However, he has a good attitude about the therapy and wants the surgery soon. I am trying to be as positive as him... I have good days and sad days.

Thank you for inquiring.
Best- Kate
