Can radiation be given between finishing chemo and having Whipple?

I am in Atlanta and did chemo and radiation here. There should be no issue at all doing treatment locally. I hated to be away from home so often and for so long (6 weeks last summer!), but I knew I would get the best outcomes by going to Mayo Rochester in my particular case.

And yes, Gem/Abrax was smooth sailing! Other than the complete hair loss. haha. Small price to pay.

Thanks again. This is so helpful. Rochester will be kind of sweet for me because I just moved from the Twin Cities to AZ about 1+1/2 years ago. I'd actually get to see a lot of old friends, not far away...Would just miss my pup here.
I'm getting prepared for hair loss; I think I'm picking a date next week for a head-shave!
Stay well!
