His oncologist recommended ending his Neoadjuvant chemo at 9, initially he was to get 12, it was rough. Instead they recommended he get the Whipple. His surgery was 12 hours, complicated by inflammation and pancreatitis. He currently has a A type pancreatic fistula and still has his drain. He was fortunate to have an operable tumor, just had no idea what a challenge the recovery would be. He is to be reassessed by surgery in a couple weeks and get a repeat CT. He sees Oncology in February with another CT then possibly more chemo with Tumor information. It is so helpful to hear others experience and know that it is navigable and survivable.
