Dolittle Message: Whipple Patient Dolittle Recommend this Message Report Abuse Email a Friend Track this Message [Remove] Subject: Whipple Date: 01/07/2006 I am recovering from the Whipple procedure now. My surgery was done in October 2005 and took 12 hours to complete. Two days after surgery my left lung colapsed and I was on a vent for 14 days. Needless to say, I almost didn't make it. Recovery has been slow but we are making progress. I will start radiation soon and additional chemo. If anyone has tips on how to make radiation easier please let me know.

I found eating cookies and crackers helped keep my stomach from getting upset during Radiation. Hope this helps.

Many PC-patients and caregivers visit the site every day and are most willing to share their experiences with you. http://pathology.jhu.edu/pancreas_chat/ Regards, Wielly Private Reply Quote Reply to This Message
