Thanks for replies.
Update re yeterday's appointment.
Previous CT Scan showed tumour was too close to blood vessel in my pranceas to permit surgery and lymph nodes local to pancreas were enlarged, other nodes, further away was even more enlarged - 1.0 and 1.5cm.
The latest test, (down throat Ultrascan) showed that it was not as close as thought, opening up the option for Whipple Procedure. Biopsy result negative for cancer, as were brushings taken during an ERCP, so fact that I have cancer not yet confirmed, still showing as 90% likely. It was explained how this was hard sample to actually obtain sick cells in.
It also showed that lymph nodes local to my pancreas were not enlarged, BUT, the Doctor performing test was not able to see the others that were not in the pancreas area, from where he was working, but surgeon seemed unworried about this. Should I be?
Assuming no problems are found at pre assesment clinic today, they want me to go in for Whipple middle of next week.
