Hello everyone.
First, since my “Whipple” surgery 6 weeks ago, it was found to be adeno and not carlangio as suspected. I had a large tumor growing from the back of my Pancreas and because it grew through 3 veins from my Liver, they could not get all of it out. Also, I had 1 lymphnode found mastastisized. The cell structure was that called “S” something I just learned that is of the worst type of cancer to have. My oncologist says that this type means I am in a 90+% for rapid return of the cancer. I am scheduled to begin Chemo on Dec 1st. with radiation to follow. I know that this is a Cholangio Board which was expected for me to have, just didn’t work out. My Whipple was 8hrs 42minutes and they took evan 1/2 stomach along with everything else.
If there are options for my treatment I need to find out.
Thanks. John McConahay jmccona2001@yahoo.com
