Anyone had Pancreatic Cancer in the head of the pancreas?
Pancreatic Cancer | Last Active: Apr 8, 2022 | Replies (30)Comment receiving replies
My husband had a tumor removed from his pancreas (as well as the head of his pancreas, gall bladder, etc) a couple of months ago using the Whipple procedure. The tumor was caught early because it had pinched the bile duct leading from his liver. He is undergoing chemo now.

That’s exactly how they caught mine. I was staged at stage 1B. I had chemo & radiation in order for the tumor to shrink and become inactive.
