    Thank you, Shortcanuck,

    My husband was diagnosed and had his Whipple at London Bridge Hospital in the UK. 🙂  His surgeon was Rob Hutchins, who also works at Guy’s Hospital on the NHS side. We left London at the end of his treatment and moved to Zurich, Switzerland for work.  We feel both blessed and cursed. Blessed that he was eligible for surgery, cursed that it was necessary at all. It’s hard to know how to feel from minute to minute.

    I’m so sorry about your sweet husband. <hug> This disease is horrendous.

    Thanks, Lainy,

    Already had the surgery. My dh is 12 days post-whipple, T3, N1, M0. Stage 2b, clear margins.

    This is only the first of 3 scheduled oncology visits, I’m just not sure what to ask. Actually, I have 8,000 questions, but I want to only ask the smart ones :D

    The problem right now is…we don’t know what we don’t know. Ya know?

    :)

    Thank you, Lainy.

    We are currently sitting in London Bridge Hospital overlooking the boat traffic on the Thames. We are in exactly the same room we were in during our first admission, which is both comforting and bizarre depending on my state of mind.

    We are planning on doing chemo and investigating immunotherapy options in both the UK and the US. The surgeon told us that since he is “young” they will most likely recommend a hard-hitting chemo. :/

    Thank you for the link!

    Best,
    Megan
