I had a whipple 12/06. I had the nueroendocrine type. I asked my oncol.; why everyone else gets chemo and I don't. He said this type of pc chemo won't touch the tumor or help. but I guess if you have aden.... the fast growing pc they give you chemo. So it all depends are what you had done and what type of pc you had. Best of wishes to recovery, Dawnella
