Hi again @waltsocal,

As you are probably aware, Connect is a patient-to-patient support group and we are not able to offer you medical advice or other information specific to your condition. However, we can offer you encouragement and support as you go through the process.

I would encourage you to seek out a Pancreatic Center of Excellence in your area. At facilities such as these, the doctors work with this type of cancer on a regular basis and therefore can be very helpful with educating patients and understanding the best treatment plan possible.

As you connect with others on this forum like @markymarkfl @stageivsurvivor you will see that their experiences show this to be true. Have you considered a second opinion at a center that specializes in pancreatic cancer?
