Your doctor is right that surgery is possible but there are risk.
Oncologist in Mumbai are good usually Tata Memorial Hospital.You can believe on them for best management.
In such cases surgery also depend on patient internal condition and cancer spread
seen during surgery on surgery tabel.
Go for ERCP as your doctor suggested for further planning.
All the very best. Thanx for query.
