Are you getting cancer treatments during COVID-19?

Well, to share some good news, my husband's Whipple procedure on Wednesday was a success in spite of some complications once underway. Dr. Truty and his team are truly skilled surgeons who care - I feel they are just amazing. John is doing well and may even come home by this coming Wednesday, just one week later, cancer-free after a treatment program we began last June (diagnosis was in May, symptoms had begun in Feb/March). I know we are very lucky that he responded so well to chemo and radiation and that he was able to be scheduled for this procedure amid the virus crisis. Although we are apart for our wedding anniversary (33 years today), Easter, and my birthday (this Monday), I feel like we've been given the greatest gift of all. He had so many people praying for him - I know that had a lot to do with this outcome as well. Thank you everyone, God Bless you on your journeys.

So happy for you! Your birthday, Easter and your anniversary will be better just knowing he is ok.
My friend Gary just had the Whipple done yesterday but not at Mayo. He has insurance different from mine.
I hear all good things of the panceatic group up there. Dr. Meredith at Sarasota Memorial is Gary's dr. and he is top notch in the country for Whipple.
So far so good...
It is so hard not being able to be with him. Do they allow you to visit at Mayo?
We g
The pathology report should be in on Monday and the DR. will call me with the report...very nervous about this as they have not confirmed cancer yet.
Prayers for you..stay in touch we have patients in similar situations.
Happy Birthday, Happy Easter and Happy 33rd Anniversary.
