I was diagnosed on February 21, 2023 with Pancreatic cancer at stage 1.
They weren’t sure if I would need radiotherapy and chemo before a Whipple surgery.
I just had my 6th round of chemo and as of right now I may only have 8 rounds in total.
If this is all I need I will have the surgery in August at Saint Mary’s Hospital in Rochester Minnesota. I will be having a laparoscopic procedure.
