@bceg1969, I think you may be referring to Dr. Truty, pancreatic cancer surgeon at Mayo Clinic. I'm tagging a few members who have consulted and been treated by Dr. Truty to share with you, like @marciak9 @dubbscopper @momof3gals @ellengalloup @ashley2235 @susan2018
You may appreciate this video

Hello
I have a tumor that is wrapped around the arteries. Dr Truty at Mayo in Rochester would have done the surgery but I decided not to go ahead with it. At 61 I want to enjoy what time is left for me. To have my pancreas, spleen, and stomach removed would have been too hard on me. I would have been too weak for more chemo if it recurs and it will. I would have constant diarrhea and painful cramps. Not everyone is eligible for the surgery so it’s not a guarantee but worth talking to Dr Truty. He is amazing!
