Thank you, Montyd for sharing your experience. I did not have any chemo prior to my Whipple as the doctors did not know if there were any cancer cells in the cyst. The oncologist board will be getting back to me next week regarding further treatment with MEK inhibitors to target the BRAF mutation that was found in my cancer. How did you tolerate the chemo? Thank you again!

I was pretty blessed in that the chemo didn’t impact me physically much. I never got ill with the chemo. I did experience some fatigue but it was very minimal. I was concerned that my body might struggle with the chemo after the surgery due to my body being weak but I was able to have positive experiences even after the surgery.
