Did you have any treatment after surgery? How are you doing now?

Thank you, I will join that conversation. I am still coping with the ongoing issues people have after Whipple surgery and continue to be monitored every 3 or 6 months as issues arise. I did 6 months of chemotherapy after surgery which was hard and I lost about 2/5ths of my weight. Just as I was starting to feel like the worst of things were past I was diagnosed, after a routine scan, with a primary lung cancer and had my LUL removed in August. Caught early so only surveillance required and just trying to improve the occasional breathlessness and getting some strength back. This is my third cancer after breast in 2002 so my mantra is “3 times the charm and I’m done.”

Thanks for reaching out!
