Has anyone heard of this? My mother is 54 years old and was suppose to undergo a whipple procedure to remove a pancreatic tumor. When they opened her up they told us that it was inoperable because it is a large mass attached to the pancreas, behind her stomach and “like a rock” surrounding her veins, and nerves. The surgeon told us that it looks like classic pancreatic cancer.
The bizarre thing is the surgeon told us he preformed numerous biopsies on the tissue he could reach and they all came back benign. We are still waiting for the pathologist to give us their results of the same tissue. Has anyone else out there had this happen?
