@zacheth2 Hi and welcome to Mayo Connect. How is your husband feeling? Is he on any other treatment leading up to his Whipple?

Thanks for asking. The tumor was found on the head of the pancreas incidentally. We went to the ER for what we thought was gall bladder problems. After a lot of testing and biopsy it was determined it was pancreatic cancer. We were incredibly fortunate that it was stage 1 & no other spread seen. However the surgeon and oncologist highly recommended chemo incase of microscopic cancer cells. To be honest post Whipple has been rough, with abdominal pain & food tolerance. He's lost a lot of weight and especially now with the chemo. So trying digestive enzymes. Praying this will help.
