My husband was diagnosed in March and has finished his 12 rounds of chemo. We are set for surgery Wed. 10/07. Can anyone offer some advice to me as the caregiver on what to expect post surgery?

Hi @juliew945 and welcome to the pancreatic cancer group. You'll notice that I moved your question to this existing discussion called "Whipple procedure: What is the recovery like?" where @salledell also asked about recovery after surgery and what to expect. Click VIEW & REPLY to read past posts.

@susan2018's husband had surgery about a year ago, and I'm sure she'll have some caregiver tips for you. @dianamiracle @dakotarunner and others can provide the patient perspective.

Julie, will you and your husband return home after he is discharged from hospital or staying in a hotel for a few days before traveling home?
