@cazms5, this sounds extremely frustrating. You and your husband needs answers. Have you considered getting a second opinion? What has his current team suggested as next steps?

We just had a second opinion from Roswell Park Cancer Center. They were in agreement with our current medical team as far as the treatment we have received. If we were to go to Roswell, the first thing they would do is another EUS biopsy. My husband’s current team have scheduled him for a CAT scan to see if he still has fluid in his abdomen and the nodule by his liver. If they are still present, they will biopsy the fluid/nodule to see if that will tell them anything. Their next step beyond that will be another EUS biopsy performed by a different gastroenterologist. According to the list I looked at, we are currently at a center for excellence. I don’t know whether or not it will be beneficial to switch to a major cancer center.
