Hi All, My son Jamie is 49. He had the Whipple surgery April 7, 2026. He is doing ok, The port will be inserted Thursday the 25th. I am not sure when the chemo will start. Soon I imagine. He is my best buddy. Jamie lives with me, his mom. He is handicapped.

I know a hug is not enough. I’m glad Jaimie is doing ok. I wish you both the very best. @ln100

Hello @bilas and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I'm glad to hear that Jamie is doing OK after his Whipple procedure in April. Do you know the name of the chemo he will be having? Once you know the name, there will undoubtedly be members who will post with you about their experience with that type of chemotherapy.
Has Jamie's appetite been affected by the surgery?
