sofiadide20 .........I hope your dad starts to feel better. I scheduled for the Whipple in early December so I'm very interested in how your dad does.

artgirl2......Wow......congratulations on the 18 year survival; I have never heard of anyone surviving post Whipple this long!! You are truly ONE OF A KIND!!!
BTW.....thank you for posting the 8 suggestions to sofiadide20 for her dad. These are wonderful tips and I will certainly be using them come my Whipple in December.
Last week I finished 6 months of chemo; today I travel to Milwaukee, WI to see my surgical oncologist and radiologist. We'll be discussing my Lab work and CT scan from yesterday. If all goes well today, I'll start radiation next week for ~ 6 weeks, then a 4 week hiatus, then The Whipple in December. If all goes well, I should be home in time for Christmas!
My prayers and best wishes to all who are struggling with this nasty disease......hand tight and stay tough......you can beat it!!!
