DEar Ken,
May I just ask a few more questions and then I believe I can be of
further help. Adenocarcinoma means a glandular tumor cancer and should
be identifiable by where the tumor is. In other words adenocarcinoma
does not describe where the primary cancer or tumor is but is an
identity of cancer in general. Usually adenocarcinoma relates to a
cancer of a tumor somewhere in the body. For instance my wife had
adenocarcinoma of an unknown primary which was not identifiable then
making it rare, but in other cases it could be adenocarcinoma of an
ovary or pancreas or colon. So is it possible to find out where the
primary tumor is and then maybe we can help you more? Sorry to burden
you with this, but it would help us clarify and direct you to the
information that is specific with that disease.
And by the way my wife is a four year survivor and counting.
God Bless
marty
