Hello Dr Lee , I had Begar procedure 7 years ago and it’s left me unable to eat without severe pain and bathroom dashes : My surgeon has put me on T.P.N now so I no longer need to eat . Yet even drinks cause horrible pain , I was honestly better before when I was having very occasional pancreatitis . But now I’ve lost the ability to eat my family sit down to enjoy their food whilst I sit and sip a glass of warm water . Just unloading my life here : Regards from UK

My dad passed away after this operation. Day one and day two it seem ok, on day 3 his condition getting worse, then tomorrow he died. His other organs are healthy, but why he didn't make it. Someday we will find the cure for pancreatic cancer..

Have a appointment tomorrow with surgeon I’m so afraid of this surgery

[@patclifford7980]

great video, now we just need to get a test so that these pancreatic cancer tumors can be found before they spread... typically once symptoms are felt it's too late..

thank you dad

I had the Whipple procedure because my RCC took up residence in my pancreas head. It’s been four months and keeping food down is a major problem. Significant weight loss has occurred. When will this get better?

I had the whipple procedure 4 yrs ago in May. My tumor was on my small intestine and my gall bladder was removed in addition to the tumor. I am still cancer free. My doctor was only 37 yrs. old!! He is now and will always be my hero. (did I mention i am 80 yrs old?
