Retro Pancreatic Lymph node mass

[indrasis123]

Earlier I wrote about the fever after stent in bile duct due to the compression of retropancreatic mass on Bile duct.(Primary site OVCA,2006 March) USG showed that there is no more invasion except the single mass. Though the mass has become quite large 6cm x 7cm.
Now My mom has had no symtoms except extreme fatigue after the prolonged intermittent fever which has gone now after extensive antibiotic therapy.

Now would we treat her ?
Is surgery an option? Radiation? IF chemo which one is the best now? What about Avastin?  
She has already received 6 cyles taxol+Carbo, Doxil+cyclophosphamide, Gem + Carbo 4 cycles.

We do it all the time. But we get different opinion from different doctors and get confused. And this forum is for discussing about the experince and treatment of different people for helping each other. If some body experineces the same and has been cured or enjoyed long term remission he could definitely guide us in this regard. Needless to say doctors are not God and there are plenty of example where they have no answer but patients have been benifited from different ideas.

Since we are not doctors, the best one to ask is her doctor. Why don't you and she make an appointment to discuss the options for her treatments with him. Make a list so that you can cover all your questions.
Good luck to her, and to you.
