Pam, Prayers are coming your way. My husband was diagnosed this October and just finished the Mayo protocol, he has not yet had the staging operation. For my young children’s sake I hope he can get the transplant, they are three and six and think the sun rises and sets on their father. I am curious what they thought before the staging surgery? Did your husband have a visible tumor? Dr. Brown, Emond and Seigel at Columbia have a new protocol, not sure if it is for you but it is for advanced disease, it is a combination called GTX and has been used in Pancreatic with some success. Good luck and God Bless.
