Ampullary cancer: What are the chances of surviving?

Hello. I had ampullary carcinoma in 2016 and a Whipple procedure was performed. I did not undergo chemotherapy nor radiation as my surgeon and his colleagues consulted and told me that the cancer was not invasive. The cancer had not spread to any of the lymph nodes that were removed and studied.

I have recently been diagnosed with ampullary adenocarcinoma. Had Whipple procedure about 6 weeks ago. It was caught early with negative margins and nodes. Now I’m trying to decide do I have chemo or not? Your situation sounds similar. I wonder how you are doing and what influenced your decision not to have chemo?

@micamica69, just checking in to see how you are doing. I also hope that you have seen the helpful post from @mdmnc who also had ampullary carcinoma back in 2016 and is here to tell you about it.
Micamica, how are you doing? What treatments did you or are you having?
