Rain,
Does that mean his cancer is spreading to other parts ? I’m, very confused about all this.Marions,
Yes we need to wait to see what the onc says, but will stay positiveHello Everyone,
Just a quick update on my dad:
Tomorrow he is 14 days post op from Whipple surgery, He is healing very well , is getting stronger despite having diabetes , his appetite is not what it used to be , he seems to get full after a few bites but he eats every few hours, He walks a little faster and has a little pain from incision but over all he is doing well. Hopefully he gains weight back because he looks very skinny , I hate to see him like that
He saw the surgeon/ oncologist last Friday and he said everything is going very well and is surprised on how well my dad is doing. My sister went with my dad that day , my sis said that the surgeon said something about the pathology coming back and had about 10 lymph nodes removed and one was abnormal and that he should get that checked out, which he now has an appointment in 2 weeks with the Onc.
So can anyone tell me what does abnormal lymph node mean? I am starting to think what if it spread somewhere else? I know I have to think positive
The surgeon had said his tumor/cancer had not spread , so now I’m confused , yes I’m starting to worry againHello,
My dad is 5 days post op today from having the Whipple surgery. He gets a little better each day, gets tired often. He is still in Intensive care, but will be moved to a different floor today. I met with his surgeon yesterday and he said everything seems to be going smoothly and my dad is doing great. He is waiting on the pathology results.
My dad has been walking around the hallway 2-3 times a day for the past two days, and last night he was allowed to eat. Dr said that he will go home sometime next week.Again thank you to everyone that has given me advice, I really appreciate it.
randigb , I will speak with my dad’s onc aout the chemo , I’m very glad you are doing well
Hello everybody,
I just want to say that I am grateful that I found this online board, I have been reading for a few weeks now and I have learned so much. Thank you to everyone that has replied to me .
Today is day two post op for my dad and he really can’t talk , he says his throat hurts bad but I’m sure it’s from the tube they put on his throat during surgery, nurse has given him lozenges which help a little. He also complains that his stomach hurts but it is being contolled with pain medication. The one thing he really hates is the catherer which he says is very painful, but overall his vitals are good and he says he feels a little better. The nurse said that today he might leave intensive care since he is doing so well. He is already sitting up in the chair now and will start to walk a bit.
My dad has gone through so much and recovery will be a while and I worry that the cancer will come back. I pray to God it doesn’t , I will remain positive.
Thank you for listening.Thank you Lainy for replying,
Yes I feel crushed ever since I found out about this cancer inside of my dad, I still have hopes that the day of surgery the Dr. comes up to me and says they made a mistake and it’s not cancer and he will be fine. ;/
Your husband seemed like a fighter and I’m very sorry for your loss.My dad is being treated at Angelo P. Creticos, Cancer Center in Chicago , Will be having surgery at Advocate Illinois Medical Center with Dr. Ajay V. Maker he is the director of Surgical Oncology
