Developed hernia 4-5 months after Whipple surgery

I also have developed an umbilical hernia post surgery. It appeared about 4 months after surgery. PA suggested wearing Spanx to keep it from bulging if that was a concern. No thanks in the summer heat :)!
They were unconcerned unless associated with pain. I am going to speak to my Primary about it anyway.

Thank you. Yesterday his Oncologist felt the same way. Leave it be unless pain, hardness, and fever.
Just getting him through Chemo is the priority now.
He had a month break because of such terrible side effects. Resuming this morning with Cycle #8, at a reduction. Praying this one is easier on him. I wish you well and appreciate your input. God bless.
