I have since recovered well from my Whipple operation on 11th Feb 2025 (no chemo before the surgery) and my surgeon tells me the next step is the chemotherapy.
My first consultation with my oncologist is on 3rd March 2025, anyone can share what to expect?
Anyone can share your experience?
Will chemo be done on that day? How does one feel when undergoing chemotherapy and after each chemotherapy?
Would like to understand more to allay my anxiety, thank you.

I am replying to your original comment on being anxious ..I think you are very fortunate to be considered to have surgery due to the fact that it has not spread. That is very very positive .., the fact that chemo is a consideration is another positive .. so my advise is try to replace the anxiety with feelings of gratefulness. Most pancreatic cancer patients find out to late to have surgery, and sometimes to late for chemo . So as difficult as this is… you are one of the lucky ones and the process will be inconvenient but I am so happy for you that you have options which equals time
