We met with the surgeon today. His position is that pancreatic cancer spreads faster than most other cancers, and, if cancer, it could close the resectable window sooner than later.
I think we’re ok with that. Interestingly, he said husband could go home as soon 4 days. He said he has performed thousands in his career.

@jerryc131 That all seems logical to me. If he has done that many, he must primarily do pancreatic cancer patients correct? Is he with a high volume Comprehensive Cancer Center?

@jerryc131 4 days ... goodness. Things have really advanced in the Whipple. Again seems to depend on what's being done.
