Thanks, Beth. My own doctor is at UPMC in Pgh. I got a second opinion at MUSC in Charleston, SC as we live in SC. A third opinion at Mass General in Boston. Pgh feels the whipple may be inevitable. MUSC said not necessarily. Boston said given my good health, no underlying conditions, good physical shape and my relatively young age (70) that doing it now prophylacticly would give me a better outcome. I am currently monitoring via every 6 months with MRI. I have had zero symptoms and this was only found incidental to a bout of diverticulitis. So I just can't justify doing the Whipple at this point anyway. I appreciate yours and anyone else's opinions or thoughts. Thank you!
