I wish you the best. The whipple scares me to death but maybe it’s the only hope. Curious if you could share any information about a Mayo Clinic whipple. Would it be done laparoscopically and perhaps even robotically? What did they tell you about surgical complications and what a post whipple surgery recovery/life would be like. Thanks.

Would like to know too . Following ♥️🙏

My surgeon says not laparoscopic or robotic. He said he will do it the old fashioned way. A cut from the bottom of my ribs to my belly button! I have heard they can do it laparoscopic but my surgeon won’t. It could be because my tumor is sitting on a major blood vessel.
