    Deb, a ton of CONGRATULATIONS to your Mike! May all the years that follow be the same great results! A bid date to celebrate to be sure!! Oh, wait, I have to do a cartwheel for Mike! Tell him to just picture a 75 year old woman doing cartwheels and I am sure it will bring a great laugh!

    Victor,

    Sending positive thoughts and prayers your way. You are one of the luckiest patients, so many are not eligible for curative surgery. May your outcome and recovery be better than you could even imagine!

    Tomorrow, Jan. 11, our family will be celebrating my husband’s first surgery anniversary. Tomorrow marks one year cancer free for our Mike! Maybe January 11 is an especially lucky day

    Victor, you will be just fine! My Teddy had the full Whipple and when I came up to see him the next morning he was sitting up in the chair! Don’t rush the recovery. One thing I always do when I have a surgery whether the throat tube is left in or not, is ask for a spray bottle of Chloraseptic as it really relieves that sore throat feeling and I can talk and eat with the tube if needed. One more thing, when having surgery on the abdomen I always ask for an epidural and they seem to accommodate, that way the whole stomach area is numb for 24 – 48 hours. I am sending you prayers, including one for G-d to come through the Surgeon’s hands. We will all be cheering for you so that OP room will be quite full of well wishers. Can’t wait to hear from the NEW and IMPROVED, Victor!

    Well, my modified Whipple is set to go first thing this coming Monday morning. A little nervous, but not really. Just looking to get this over and done with. Thanks everyone who’s helped me out. Wish me luck. Any last minute advice is appreciated.
