Thanks to the dedicated skillful medical team and early discovery of the ampullary cancer, I had successful Whipple Procedure 5 years ago. I will soon be 87, relatively in good condition, with no major health issues to speak of. Due to my advanced age I did not get chemotherapy, judging from the results probably did not need it. Few days after the Whipple, I was up on my feet, diligently walking a few times a day in the hospital corridors. I was surprised how well I did, because 18 years ago I had a quadruple coronary bypass operation and following that for couple of weeks if I may say, I was sick as a dog. My last blood test and CT scan in January and 6 months intervals before that were excellent, no trace of recurrence. If I may add I am physically active, try to eat wholesome food, less meat, more vegetables, and strictly one meal daily which is only a generous serving of 3-4 kinds of in season fruits only.
