Following the surgery, he received six months of chemotherapy, comprising Gemcitabine and Capecitabine, which concluded on February 13. Gemcitabine was administered in six cycles, each comprising three sessions per week, while Capecitabine was taken as one tablet in the morning and two tablets at night for 14 consecutive days, followed by a seven-day break.  Subsequently, a PET scan was performed on February 22,,2024 revealing metastases to the lungs and liver.
