My grandfather was just diagnosed with neuroednocrine pancreatic cancer and although I am a nurse I don't know that much about it. My family is really frightended and looking towards me for advice. I wish I could help them. What kind of prognosis is there for him? What kind of treatments are available? His physician says the tumor is inoperable, but I don't know why they can't do a whipple procedure. Any inisight or information would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
