I had Whipple almost ten years ago. Surgical pathology report showed two positive lymph nodes, one at the hepatic artery (usually a bad indicator).
No complications. No recurrence. Six months of chemo after Whipple. Use Creon with every meal. Everything worked out surprisingly well, despite a grim outlook at times.
Best of luck -- we all need it.
