Hello everyone, this is just to update my previous post. My father has now been diagnosed with a recurrence in the liver. It appears that this was at the root of his post-whipple troubles discussed in my earlier post. We are going to M.D. Anderson in Houston within the next couple of weeks, but the doctors here are painting a very grim picture. I’m so glad that I found this message board, and may God bless each familiy represented here.
Thanks so much for your replies. The link to the Johns Hopkins Pancreatic Cancer site has a wealth of information for post-Whipple patients. Thanks again, and God bless.

That’s wonderful, Kate! Yes, indeed, long may it continue – and may we all see each day as a gift. God bless.

Kate and Kathy, thank you both for the warm and caring welcome. It does help to connect with others who understand, doesn’t it? God bless you both.

Hi Stacie, thanks so much for your reply. I am very nervous about having the surgery here in Jackson, Miss. I know how critical it is that they remove it all, and I don’t know how many (if any) of these they have done at the hospital we are using. Unfortunately, I don’t think I am going to have much say in the decision – my parents are just trusting the local doctors they have spoken with. I wish I could load them up in the van and drive straight to M.D. Anderson, but I know that is not realistic. I am the only one in my family that has researched this disease, and they are not aware of what we are up against yet.
Thanks again for your support, and may God bless us all.
Ann
