Linda: any update on your dad? I was informed on 1/23/06 that I had another tumor in the bile duct that had been disconnected during the first surgery. The surgeon called in a drop down cell. It was near the head of the pancreas so I just underwent a modified whipple procedure on 2/6/06. Everything went well as far as surgery and I came home with a feed tube and a couple other drains. I just got rid of the tube a week ago. I am not scheduled to see my surgeon until June. However, I have developed a virus which has taken its toll on me with the coughing, congestion, etc.
Outside of that I feel good and the path report said it was contained so at the present time I am not scheduled for chemo or radiation.
That's the update on me...but I have not seen anything on your dad. Hope he is doing well. Please let me know
