Forgive me if this has been addressed before, but I am new to this board. My father in law was diagnosed last April with stage 2 pancreatic cancer. He underwent a mini whipple in July. The surgeon could not remove the entire tumor since there was arterial involvement from the liver. My father in law has been on chemo/radiation for months in the hopes that the tumor would shrink and they could then go in and remove it. The tumor has shrunk somewhat but not enough for the surgeon to repeat surgery. They have put him back on new chemo and his CA-19 numbers have increased. He is being treated in Florida and has just expressed interest in seeking another opinion. From reading, I have learned that there are good facilities at MD AndersonĀ in Texas or John Hopkins in Maryland. I would like to obtain some doctors names where my father in law could just get another opinion on the option of surgery. From Texas, I have read about Dr. Douglas Evans or Dr. Peter Pisters and from Maryland I have read about Dr. John Cameron. Does anyone have any info on these doctors or others? How can I research good oncologists/surgeons in other places? I have also contacted PanCan for their help but if anyone has any other interesting options or knows anything about these doctors or others I would welcome a response. Thanks so much.
