Hi. My name is Basia and I live in the Turks & Caicos Islands. I was diagnosed accidentally a few weeks ago, receiving news of a malignant common bile duct tumour on Valentine’s Day. Yikes! And here I was, expecting flowers

At any rate, I am stage 0/1 with no lymph node involvement that they can see. I will be having my Whipple performed at U of Miami on the 2nd of March with Dr. Nipun Merchant. I decided to go with him and his team today, rather than Sloan Kettering, for the simple reason is that I have a strong support system there. And it’s only an hour’s flight away from TCI.

Don’t really know what to expect but from what I ready, the Whipple is enough to scare the pants off me.

I pray for me, and above all else, I pray for us all. Basia
