Ampullary cancer is not the same as panacreatic cancer.  Doctors are beginning to think that ampullary cancer is related to intestinal cancers.  Your cure rate or survival rate depends on the pathology of your tumor.  I would have your oncologist explain the pathology report.  He or she can also explain chances of recurrence and survival rate.  Your report sounds pretty good, but I would educate myself as much as I can.

Although it is not a pancreatic cancer, it has been lumped in with them.  www.pancan.com is a good website and you can call them (their number is posted on the site).  They have more information on ampullary cancer than anywhere else I have been.  Also check out www.pubmed.com for the most up to date articles on ampullary cancer.

Good luck.
