Thanks so much for your response. I guess I know from my google search activities that it's going to be a long road to recovery. I just get really apprehensive when I think about everything that's going to be coming out of my insides. I'm not familiar with the Appleby, but I did a lot of research on the Whipple procedure as that's initially what I thought I would be having.
Thanks again for the encouragement!
Tim

Appleby is done when there's no cancer in the head of the pancreas but requires additional duct and artery resections. Both are intense and should be performed by surgeons with tons of experience with successful outcomes.
