I had the whipple at Mayo April 30, 2018. I first did the floforinox, but could only do 5 treatments. Then the whipple. After healing for 8 weeks I did radiation. They wanted me to do oral chemo with it, but I could not tolerate it. I had five weeks of radiation. After healing, they wanted me t o double dose on chemo, but I could only do single doses. My blood counts were low and I only did five of nine. But my scans hav all been clear since then. List 70 pounds total. Putting weight back on us a struggle, but it’s getting there. I still do medicinal marijuana and this helps. Moving and exercise is also very helpful. I eat lots of whole grains, fruits and vegetables. I try to get as much organic as possible. Good luck! Also try the shanti protein bars for snacks! Not much sugar and like add with antioxidants. I also do acupuncturist nature, which many medical facilities have found to be useful. And creon is taken many times during the day....
