Hi Caryn. How are you doing now? Has digestion become any easier?

My mother is set to undergo a pyloric preserving Whipple and our surgeon did discuss the possibilities of infection, delayed gastric emptying, need for Pancreatic enzymes, etc… but I’m wondering if this is more of a likelihood than a possibility.

Do you mind me asking where your tumor was located and what type of pan can?
Why did your doctor suggest the pyloric preserving Whipple?

I hope you have had an easier recovery and are doing well. Best wishes for you and yours. Stay strong!
