HI!
I AM SO TRULY SORRY TO HEAR YOUR HUSBAND HAS STAGE 4 PANCREATIC CANCER.
GOOD NEWS IS THAT HIS DOCTOR IS SAYING HE IS A CANDIDATE FOR THE SURGERY.
I HAD THE APPLEBY PROCEDURE A FEW WEEKS AGO.
I AM BACK HOME ALREADY.
I HAD AN AMAZING DOCTOR.
HIS NAME IS DR CHARLES YEO IN PITTSBURGH PA.
WE LIVE IN ANOTHER STATE AND DROVE THE 18 HOURS FOR MY SURGERY.
I HAD STAGE 3 PANCREATIC CANCER AND THE CANCER WAS WRAPPED AROUND ALL MY ARTERIES EXCEPT ONE ARTERY. MY SURGERY WAS A 50 PERCENT CHANCE THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO REMOVE THE TUMOR BECAUSE OF WHERE IT WAS.
SURGERY WAS SUCCESSFUL.
MY SURGEON AND HIS TEAM SAVED MY LIFE.
I RECOMMEND DR CHARLES YEO/PHILADELPHIA PA.
IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS PLEASE REACH OUT.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND.
