hi @debleigl, oh I cannot imagine how disappointing it must’ve been to get the call from the operating room that they could not proceed with the Whipple surgery because cancer was found to have spread.

Here is the post from @lovingwifeterry, where she mentions having experienced a very similar (almost identical) situation. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/779214/
As it turns out her husband has bile duct carcinoma.

Deb, I’m encouraged that you have an appointment at Mayo Clinic next week. There is hope, it’s just been re-shaped. Which Mayo Clinic location will you be going to? I can connect you with others who have been there.
