Husband had Whipple surgery and chemo: He's uncomfortable

Posted by joanalc @joanalc, Jan 31, 2023

I'm trying to be supportive, but he's to undergo chemo for 6 months, and have 5 to go. He's uncomfortable much of the time. Help!

Yes it was at St Mary’s we, my family stayed across the street at the Staybridge Suites. My surgery was October 13 2022
I’m doing great no signs of disease returning. Gained 5 pounds. 🙂

Thanks for clarifying, @dantina777. I believe fellow members like @nvan22 @wjk @colorafo19 @jamilynne can answer your questions about what to expect with surgery and working with Dr. Kendrick.

If you are accompanying your son, you may also appreciate these discussions:
