Hello everyone, I'm not sure I'm in the right group. My Dad is 69 and was recently hospitalized because he develoeped jaundice. He had a stint put in his bile duct, i believe, and they found 3 tumors in and around his pancreas, bile ducts and ampulla vater. One of this cysts was malignant and he is having a wipple surgery in a few days. He was told via a phone-in doctor appointment that he'll start a 6 month cylce of chemotherapy after the surgery. We are having difficulty getting a confirmation of exactly what type of cancer he has and what stage the cancer may be in. Is this something that is determined post surgery or after the chemotherapy has begun? I'd be greatful for any input or comments anyone has and I'm glad to have found a possible support group for what we are going through. thank you
