Jan 2026 Had whipple surgery in Mayo and pathology showed pancreatic cancer, stage 2B Just started my chemo treatments 2-27-26. One treatment every two weeks for 6 months is what I am currently set up for. Day one: chemo and infusion pump set up and first infusion. Day 2 wear infusion pump and bag and get on with day. Day 3 appointment at our local hospital facility to disconnect infusion pump and store till my next chemo infusion. So much information to take in and learn and is abit overwhelming. Only side effect i have is loss of appetite and low energy, but that right after whipple surgery. I have read numerous posts that after whipple, it can take alot of time for things to return to normal. Am excited to join group to get and share ideas that may help along our journey. So greatful for this group.

Wanted to send encouragement to you - I had the whipple surgery in Canada in the fall of 2018. Followed by 11 sessions of chemo (couldn't finish the 12th one). I had tingling in my fingers and feet so stopped chemo. I am still here after all these years, managing my life and looking after my husband. My pancreatic cancer was Stage 3. I do have neuropathy in my feet and a lot of problems with digestion. But overall I live a pretty good life. I would like to wish you the best. Hang in there.
