Perhaps you can focus on the fact that the Whipple offers you an opportunity which isn't available to cancer patients with mets (such is my case)? So, while your surgery has its own risks and challenges your prospects after surgery should be much improved. Good luck and I look forward to learning how you're doing. Best,

@thebobk, thanks for your encouragement to focus on the positive. I pray for your continued progress.

I am located in Barbados where very few Whipple procedures are done because of very late diagnoses - mine is scheduled for Saturday and my surgeon advises that I am very fortunate and have a good prognosis one I come through the surgery.

I will post an update when I am able.
