What To Do Immediately

Pancreatic Cancer is most often found in a very late stage and is a very fast moving and deadly disease.

So it is crucial to get the best medical attention as fast as possible.

The large, regional cancer centers are the best places to seek medical help since they see the most cases yearly, and most importantly do the most Whipple surgeries every year -- and so have the most expertise and ability to access whether a Whipple or other surgical resection is possible.

And since a surgical resection offers the most significant hope of survival, it is crucial to seek at least a second opinion at one of these top regional cancer centers (Johns Hopkins, Sloan Kettering, Mayo Clinic, MD Anderson, etc).

And given how fast the cancer progresses, it is important to not waste a single day in getting to one of these centers and being seen by their Pancreatic Cancer specialists.
