      I live in WY.  I had the Whipple done at University of CO Hospital, Anschutz Pavilion:  my surgeon was Dr. Martin McCarder;  my oncologist was Dr. Colin Weekes.  Dr. McCarder studied at Sloan Kettering and Dr. Weekes at Johns Hopkins.  I am over 3 years out and still cancer free.

        I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer Feb 11, 2010. Had the Whipple procedure March 11, and began chemo early May 2010. I have had very few side effects, but the third tx was very difficult. I am determined to overcome this and remain cancer free. I live in the Rocky Mtns and received treatment and surgery at the U. of CO Hospital, Anschutz Cancer Center. Now I do chemo in Ft. Collins, CO.
