I researched centers when I was diagnosed and I chose Mayo in Rochester because of its success stories. I had 12 rounds of Folfirinox, then a three week rest, 15 rounds of radiation with oral chemo, then a three week rest and finally my Whipple on December 6, 2022. I am 8 months post Whipple tomorrow and I feel fabulous and so Blessed to be alive. The main reason I wanted Mayo was because of my surgical oncologist, Dr. Mark Truty. He has a huge reputation. The first time I met him and shook his hand, an electrical current went up my arm. It happened again the morning of surgery when he came in to see if I was ready. The current shot up my arm again. I told him God was with him and that I would be fine and I was. I have had no problems before of since treatment to date. My scan June 29th was clear and my CA-19-9 was down to 3. God works in mysterious ways, but it is my belief he works through Dr. Truty for sure. Good luck with your treatment and may God bless you as well!

dgo,

It sounds as if you relocated to the Rochester area for CHT and CRT treatments prior to your Whipple?
