Thank you Tammy. We are trying for a second opinion in next couple of days.

I am mainly just confused about why are they not going for a curative treatment, is it normal to jump from surgery to palliative? I was hoping they would give curative treatment a good hard shot first.

Naive reasoning would suggest that resection followed by chemo should be more effective, as chemo would have much fewer cancer cells to kill.

Pardon me if my questions are too basic.
