My wife may be facing pancreatic cancer. The oncology team has assembled and are wasting no time with the battery of exams and scans. Hoping to be early stage as the mass appears to be less than 2 cm. Procedures such as Whipple and resection have been mentioned but obviously all the scans and such need to be completed. Hoping that is by 3 May and we meet the oncologist on that day to discuss the way ahead

We are in Huntsville.

I guess I am asking input or insight into any recommendations for the Whipple procedure. This seems more prevalent than I had any thought of. I guess, hopefully none of you have even heard of these procedures. My guess though, some have experience and I’d
Ike to hear from you. From what I read, high volume surgeons are the best. Makes sense. We will obviously listen to the oncologist and internal drs.

Completely unexpected.

Some requests and talks with the big man upstairs would be appreciated as well.
