Husband had Whipple surgery and chemo: He's uncomfortable

I'm trying to be supportive, but he's to undergo chemo for 6 months, and have 5 to go. He's uncomfortable much of the time. Help!

Thanks for clarifying, @dantina777. I believe fellow members like @nvan22 @wjk @colorafo19 @jamilynne can answer your questions about what to expect with surgery and working with Dr. Kendrick.
