I’m sorry that I don’t know the answers to many of your questions. I also had an infection on my incision after leaving the hospital. They had to re-open a 2 inch section. It took five weeks to heal. We packed it with a special gauze that was treated with an iodine solution. That healed once I started eating more protein. We packed it once per day. I would reach out to your oncologist and inquire about the timeframe of chemotherapy Post Whipple. I disconnected from the pump yesterday and I feel like dirt today. I’ve never been this nauseous before in my life. I called the hospital to see if I can get some Zofran. Hopefully that will help - I don’t know. We have to be our own advocates. This is a hard road. I’m 57 and my dad went through this at 67. Unfortunately, he only lived one year after the Whipple. Even though I know, there are a lot of people that care about me and what’s going on, when we’re going through it, we are alone. No one else can feel this pain physically or mentally. We have to control what we can control. Stay strong.
