I am certainly not an expert on the various types of PC but I did have the Whipple in December 2005 and I am still here and cancer free. I did a quick google on MCC and it revealed to me that the survival rate seems very high with no lymph node involvement and about 50% with some invasion. Since it has been advertised that the Whipple is a good chance for a cure it seems to be the way to go. With that said, each individual has to make that choice. My prayers go with you.
