Yes, if and when it is in the best interest of the patient, Mayo certainly does perform the Celiac Plexsis Block. If you are still interested, please don’t hesitate to contact our Oncology Department at 507-284-4137.

We talked about getting a second opinion from Mayo but they told us they work with the mayo oncology dept. already. We just need to know if this is something we should still pursue. Brother in law now has
a very large RCC clear cell tumor mets to the head of pancreas and a very large one in the tail. Stented twice. Almost lost him to bleeding when they re-stented due to blockage of bile duct. Tumor invaded the duodenum. My brother in Law is 60 years old. Has tried 4 different chemo drugs, now on votrient. He looks very ill and in much pain. Does the mayoclinic perform the Celiac Plexsis Block? Any help appreciated.

John, we cannot diagnose conditions, provide second opinions or make specific treatment recommendations through this correspondence. If Eric would like to seek help from Mayo Clinic, please he can call one of our appointment offices. The numbers can be found at http://www.mayoclinic.org/ under “request an appointment.”

It was discovered because of a swelling in his neck. He got 3 different therapies with chemo. After 1 1/2 yr he experienced constant coughing and hardly sleeps. The specialist decided after the first diagnosis not to remove the tumor. I am afraid the specialist did not use the most effective way, but I cannot prove it. What to do now?
