Hi Roseisarose nice to meet you! So sorry for your troubles. You’ll find a lot of friends here that hopefully you’ll find comfort.
I had Dr Truty and he said I was a candidate for surgery even though there was artery involvement but I declined. I’m61 and life after that kind of surgery would have been awful. I’m doing really well with no aggressive metastasis. I was diagnosed October of 22.

Nice to me you Marcia, I am glad to hear you are doing well. I was disappointed I could not have the surgery at first, but I have decided it wasn't meant to be for a reason. I have had four surgeries since I was diagnosed and that is enough for a life time. I go in tomorrow for treatment. The last one was not bad because I didn't have to get that damn shot for the white blood count. I hate that shot.

Marci, is the surgery you turned down the Whipple? Just curious about your thoughts and decisions. I know that I struggle sometimes on future treatments and direction to take on many things. I usually read about what people decided to do, but not so much on how they came to pick their decisions.
thank you
