To whipple or not to whipple? What is quality of life like after?

I was 65 and in excellent shape in 2023 when diagnosed with PC. After 6 months of Chemo followed by 3 weeks of radiation I had the Whipple in April 2024. It took about a month before I started to feel somewhat normal, and after 6-8 months I was back to a normal lifestyle and there isn't anything I can't do that I could pre-whipple. So for me it was definitely worth it. Best of Luck.

Thanks this is helpful. Especially the bit about there not being anything you cant do that you couldnt do pre-whipple. Something for me to strive for!
