Hi Russ,
I'm Andrew's wife. My father's name is Tom. My father is doing very well now. He just had Whipple surgery on Wednesday and he pulled through the operation fantastically. Luckily, the surgeon was able to remove all of the tumor and it did not metastasize. (Thank God!) We have not gotten the lab reports back, but the doctor believes that it was cancer. We are very lucky that he had turned yellow from jaundice. It was a lifesaver. I know we are not out of the woods yet, but his prognosis is good.
My father's surgeon, Dr. Rosato is the nephew of the surgeon who operated on you. They are a very talented family. Take care of yourself and thank you for your prayers.
Jennifer
