To whipple or not to whipple? What is quality of life like after?
Pancreatic Cancer | Last Active: 7 hours ago | Replies (108)Comment receiving replies
To @tomrennie, Thanks for your concern. So far, no. I’m hunting for a new GI doctor. This whipple is no joke. I had complications with the surgery, in the hospital and still a year later. I’m overwhelmed. The dietician said on the spectrum of difficulties after I am on the very high side. I don’t believe that. I can’t be the only one. Oh well. I’ll keep on trying to solve this as best as possible. I don’t want to scare anyone who needs the surgery. It’s just that it’s hard to fathom I had pancreatic cancer because I went in feeling fine physically and came out a wreck. Ln100

@ln100 my husband had the Whipple but they found more cancer and he only lived a few months after. I just wanted to tell you to
Make sure you have no infection. He had infection that went undiagnosed until they finally sent to an infection disease doctor. That doctor ask him why he had not came to see him sooner. We did not known he needed to see him.

@ln100 Have you tried any of the suggestions that @stageivsurvivor mentioned on a previous comment? He is the most knowledgeable person that I know on the subject.
