So sorry. I did know it was an extreme surgery. Glad you recovered. God bless you and your family.

Whipple is the prescribed "fix" for ampullary cancer. The surgeon did a great job. The statistical recurrence for ampullary cancer after the Whipple is 45% within 2 years. My 2 year will be June 2026. For now, I'm in the "eye of the storm". My gut hurts most of the time and maintaining my weight is a daily battle. I'm blessed to still have a full time job, good medical insurance and group life insurance. I have time to dot the i's and cross the t's before things get rough again.

I am proud that you have handled that the way you have.
