Does anyone have chronic diarrhea?

I've had various forms of diarrhea for the past two years. I had a Whipple in March, 2025 to remove a pancreatic tumor (T-1, borderline resectable) , and I've been on chemo for most of the time since, owing to elevated CA 19-9 markers. And two months ago, I underwent four sessions of radiation therapy targeting a small liver lesion. I've been tested for infection, etc., with no positive results. This is the most debilitating part of my condition. I'm now searching for a gastroenterologist with experience in treating cancer patients who've had a Whipple, and then a nutritionist, as well. But I'd welcome the suggestions of all in this forum.

@nbcesq please let me know if you find anyone. I’m on the west coast

@nbcesq That's a hard way to live. Sorry to hear that. Does your Whipple surgeon have any gastroenterologist or nutritionist recommendations? In my experience, it helps to have healthcare folks that have played on the same team before.
