What treatment options is he being offered and where is he going for treatment? How did they discover this cancer?
I am curious as I have a dr at HUP that has been watching my pancreas for several years since a minor lesion was picked up on a CT of the lungs by a radiologist. He keeps wanting to do a whipple procedure on me and I keep saying 'not until I have symptoms'. Are they suggesting a whipple for Dennis? Johns Hopkins was suggested to me for a second opinion if I wanted one.
Please keep us posted and tell Dennis we are thinking of him.
Take care,
Eileen
