Think she mentioned she regrets having the procedure. Due to the removal of all of her pancreas..

find a surgeon who does 100+ whipples a year. Its a tricky surgery.
I had read that advice and fortunately live near the Johns Hopkins hospital-world class surgeons AND team.
Only 25% of PC patients are even eligible for it, and it's the best hope for recovery. I'm 7+ years cancer free now
—probably for many reasons, starting with the surgery.

Yes. Dr. Shires was fantastic. Came to see me every day and actually visited with me. He does lots of these surgeries.
Surgery was done at Texas Health hospital off Walnut Hill in Dallas.
