We've finally received the pathology report Nori -- he had a biopsy of a
mass in his pancreas. The diagnosis is pancreatic exocrine carcinoma with
focus of hepatic metastasis. From my understanding, there is no known
treatment . Since the cancer has already spread to his liver, surgery isn't
an option. One treatment option we're looking into is radiation.
If there is anyone on the FML who has had experience with this disease, I'd
like to hear more about it so that I might have some idea of what we're in
for...
Thanks,
Alyssa
