Having chemo: What can I expect during and after Whipple surgery?

Just my .02, but you can't deal with the side effects of one more chemo infusion session? I went through 12 of Folfirinox with the pump for two days. It wasn't pleasant but did a good job on my cancer until one liver tumor that refused to respond. I I were you, I'd tough out the last chemo session. I'm 75.

During my discussion with my oncologist about my treatment and upcoming surgery she convinced me that even though the mass has responded well to chemo it would be 6-8 weeks before the actual surgery. That convinced me to accept her offer of 25% reduction of all 3 chemicals. Last night wasn’t that bad and get the pump removed tomorrow. Glad see she changed my mind!!
