Hello my name is Kathryn and I was first diagnosed in July 2022. After chemotherapy and radiation I was cancer free for two years and in November 2024 cancer was discovered on my gallbladder. Having the Whipple procedure at the end of June- Dr Stucky is my surgeon - anybody here that has had the procedure and Dr Stucky operated?

I too was diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma on July 1 2022, and had a robotic whipple surgery. The surgeon removed my gallbladder. I wonder why your surgeon didn’t remove your gallbladder. I developed other issues because he built a bile duct out of other tissue and it started to close, so l had to have biliary tubes inserted to keep the duct open. I had to have the procedure every 2 weeks to replace the smaller tubes with bigger tubes. This took 6.5 months. I am doing okay, but I have started to feel some discomfort in my abdomen since last week. I go for a mri next week.
