@drewgrebe My husband had a Whipple procedure surgery the end of August 2019 at Mayo for malignant IPMN cyst in the head of his pancreas. He is currently receiving the recommended Folfirinox chemotherapy, every other week, 12 sessions. Going into surgery it wasn’t known to be malignant. The surgical margins were clear and no lymph were involved, however because of its size, it was Stage IIA. The oncologists call him a”rare bird” in that it was discovered so early. It was incidentally discovered because he had a scan for another condition several months prior. Anyway, only time will tell how fortunate or unfortunate he turns out to be, they only say he was fortunate to be able to have the Whipple, fortunate that he is tolerating tough chemo and fortunate that it was very early...so he has a chance. Best to you.
