Ampullary cancer: What are the chances of surviving?

ML, I am doing well. Like you I had clear margins and all lymph nodes were negative. My surgeon and his colleagues conferred about my case and recommended no chemo and/or radiation. I went along with the surgeons’ recommendation. At one year post surgery a new CT scan was done and my surgeon told me that everything still looked very good, that I was cancer free and he did not need to see me anymore.

I was back playing tennis after 8 months. I never had any trouble going back to eating everything that I had eaten prior to surgery.

I hope your recovery continues to go well.
Please feel free to ask for any additional info you may want.

Glad to hear you are doing well. You mentioned you are able to eat everything, that is great. I am starting to eat pretty good but only because I take pancreatic enzymes. I’m starting to feel more normal but not 100% yet, hopefully I’ll improve more in the next few weeks.
Do you know others in our situation?
