If the surgery was a Whipple procedure, look it up....it carries lots of risks and side affects....many people would not opt for it.....pancreatic cancer for the most part is still terminal....very few people survive it for more than a couple of years, although there are people that do....
My mom had whipple surgery. She lived 15 years after it. Not fun, but she got to be with meet all her grand children before the cancer came back and she died. She had a great attitude and love for life and family.
My mother had the Whipple procedure done nine years ago. The surgery took 13 hours to perform. This was done in Pittsburgh, PA. She is in the less of 1% survivor’s. Over 90% of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer will not see the next year. Doctor’s describe my mother as a miracle.
