Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. I would advise you to do CT scan of upper abdomen. Also, removal of lymph nodes followed by 6 cycles of chemotherapy is recommended. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
