@gamaryanne It is not entirely clear what happened. It was all so fast after we decided to have a gastric bypass to deal with a constriction of the duodenum caused by the tumour growing at the resected edge of the pancreas. The radiotherapy caused inflammation and I think that made the gastrointestinal system congested and swollen. A week after the bypass the appendix ruptured and surgeon went in to fix it. Then a week after the duodenum perforated and this is near where the radiotherapy was directed. Another surgery, making 3 in 2 weeks. He is in ICU now and has been for a week. In the meantime the cancer is ‘growing’ in the abdomen without chemo for 4 months. I’m am beyond fear and worry. One day at a time.
