@cindee60 I am not going to say that you have an easy road ahead of you. I want you to know that not everyone qualifies for a Whipple. If the cancer was too far advanced, the doctors wouldn't even suggest a Whipple. I was diagnosed with Stage 2b pancreatic cancer. I had my Whipple 5 1/2 years ago. I have met other survivors of pancreatic cancer, some who had their Whipples as long as 25.years ago. It may not be easy, but survival is a real possibility.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to me. Still in very early stages of knowing what will happen but things are sounding somewhat positive. The surgeon said it looks completely resectable so hopefully he’s right but he’s an excellent surgeon so I am having faith. Your story is inspirational so thank you. He does qualify for Whipple but new doctor is not sure yet if he has to go that route. Again thank you.
I might be in touch again if that’s ok
