Good How i can communicated with u what'sapp To send to me the reports of your brother because I'm medical student

My brother won’t discuss it. He likes to put it in the past and move on. I’ve tried to get him to open up but he is a man of few words.

Oh my! What was the reason she had it at 9 years old?

Wow. So young to suffer. I am really glad that you are ok ❤

SusanJo0203 i think GOD would be happier if you’ve thanked the surgeon who did it for you😄

@@drantonyjasonaugustine1901 Surgeon get paid but God is not , Thanks to God

What are you doing to survive? How is your daily life going?

it was the surgeon, not god.

I am a operation assistant and I haven't seen God in a while in the operation room

Update: she’s doing well! She’s been home for a bit, starting to regain strength

7-8-2020 i had the classic Whipple. Clean up chemo afterwards. I'm doing great !

@@deborahharrell1778 She starts chemo next week. We’re very anxious, glad to hear you’re doing well!

How is you mom now any update .. my father is going to have this surgery in the coming week.

@@gyandeep987 how is ur dad

Thank you for your kind words.

@seansullivan1439 I had my Whipple across town at the UMD Med Center on 2 June 2015. Dr. Alexander, who was Dean of Surgical Oncology at the time, took my case.

2,000+

Does he still practice?

Danny Childers so pancreatic tumor is that common? Glad they can get help. Bless you all.

@@iganpparamarta8813 Pancreatic accounts for only about 3% of all cancers, with 4 to 7 tumor types (depending on source of medical information). However, due to it usually not being detected until late to too late, it is the number three cause of deaths by cancer in the USA. It is estimated that me and about 149 other people were diagnosed on 14 May 2015. As of today, 28 December 2019, the class size may be as small as 30. I am now 4 years, 7 months and 2 weeks post diagnosis, with no evidence of active disease since the Whipple on 2 June 2015.

@Indian kshatriya I was diagnosed with a Stage IB adenocarcinoma confined to the head of the pancreas, surrounding, but not infiltrating, the bile duct.

mr33hell2 Can you update your experience?

Hows your dad?

Update?

My dad is going to have it done in about a week

i dont pray, i fuck god

my mother was also wipple surgery after the operation how did you describe the process

Congrats Marlene, I too am a survivor of the Whipple Procedure, 20 years. We are both very lucky.

My friend Carol had the procedure today in Spokane. I am not sure of which Dr.....

After Whipple 8 years congrats! Get well soon :) which country is that? My father had whipple operation too on this january.He is 52 years old and taking chemotherapy.but not high level now..

Hi Marlene... can we survive whole life after whipple procedure

hi Mary! This is very helpful and so thankful for your recovery! I am trying to research the best diet as my mom just got diagnosed and we are waiting to see what stage it currently is- can you tell me what your diet was like and has been like since? perhaps any advice you wish to share? I also invite anyone else that has advice on diet, coping, or recovery please reply! thank you so much everyone! every bit helps!

Hi Mary, how are you now? I have an ampullary tumour, still going through tests. Do you find you lost weight after? I’m in Uk too!

The same here. I lost my dad 2024 😢 He was from stage 4 pancreatic cancer too. I feel sorry for you🫂

Hi, great to know you are doing well now. Btw, were you losing appetite before/during the jaundice? How about urine color and stool? Thanks! And once again, congratz for surviving this disease :)

Good afternoon; I was not losing appetite, though I did lose a bit of weight, about 21 pounds up to the Whipple. Stool and urine color were part of the concerns that got me to go to my primary to find out what was occurring. My primary, and his supervisor, knew something was going on from the CT, ultrasound and blood work, but the local hospital was unable to provide the more extensive diagnostics (ERCP with biopsy) they decided I needed. That's how I go to UMMC from deep in southern Maryland. Over the course of things, I lost a total of about 50 pounds, have gained back about 30. Have been able to eat much the same as I did before, just try to keep it in better balance and add more fiber to keep things moving.

Thanks for the sharing Anita, really apreciate it. I'm asking becos I recently have floating stools and urine with darker yellow (though it will return white if I drink alot water). I went to dr, liver kidney pancreas function test and cbc all normal so far. What was ur stool and urine color look like at that time?

Actually, it's me, Steven, who is the PC patient. Anita and I have a joint email account. :) Dark urine, light stool...initial ultrasound showed something by the bile duct. I also developed jaundice; yellowing of the eyes and skin, itching all over, had no pain, though. The tumor was collapsing the bile duct. I had a procedure called an ERCP with biopsy, to insert a stent in the bile duct. The first one blocked and the biopsy was inconclusive. The second one, about 10 days later, worked real well and the biopsy was positive for a pancreatic tumor. A CT scan will show there is something there. as will blood work. Only a biopsy can confirm. It reads like you have a possible problem with the gall bladder, at a minimum. I'd ask for an abdominal CT scan.

Anita Steven oh, thank you Steven! You are very lucky to have a wife who always stay by your side through thick and thin. I will push this matter to the gastro Dr I hv an appointment with this 22nd Dec. I wish you all the best for your health and best of luck :)

@@cynthiaaileen Hello Cynthia, I hope this helps. Avoid sugar as cancer literally feeds on it. Avoid meat, you are allowed fish twice a week, Lots of green veggie juices such as kale celery, spinach and also beetroot juice, Lots of sprouted seeds such as mung, pumpkin, broccoli and any kinds of sprouts as these are considered foods that are living. Basically a vegan diet would really help.

are you still living

Except when you or your loved one DOESN’T come through, like mine didn’t. I’m glad yours was a success, but you imply my aunt died because we didn’t trust God enough, and that’s not a good thing to lay on people.

Irene Concepcion agreed. Simple and easy to understand video to explain what a Whipple procedure was.

+Pat ty If you think god gave you a second chance, then you must also recognize that he gave you cancer too. Did you thank him for that?

+elite76 hahahaha right!

+elite76 that is a really fucked up thing to say lol

Habsforthewin Is it though? Is it really? Why is it valid to attribute only the good in the world to god. If its your belief that this entity takes a direct role to affect the outcomes of regular people, then who are you to pick and choose which of those actions to assign to his hand? If you say god healed you, then you must also say that god made you sick in the first place.

elite76 You definitely make a great point. It would be very hard to argue against that.

You are really a child of God. Because you carry his love. Please pray for me. I am struggling with so many health problems and waiting for the surgery.

@@toms5050 hWho you fill? .

I hope you are better, how are you?

@@arymhansie Thank-you. Still hanging in there. Still have lung nodules. Still on chemo. Still beating the odds. Now a four year survivor.

hope all is well@@-myal-8691

How is she?? Did she had the surgery?

How did it go?

Did your cousin ever have the whipple procedure? How did it go for her?

Bless you Duane McCune My OH is having this OP on Wednesday. Everything is crossed for him.

Lori Chapman: I know this was posted 6 years ago, but you hit a nerve that's giving my mother pause in going through the Whipple procedure. She is 73, very frail, 89 lbs, her survival on that 6 to 8 hours procedure is our concern. Thank you for sharing; God bless.

Jim, we are so sorry to hear about all that your partner has gone through.

Thank you for the thoughts, but I'm tired of being a Guinea pig and tired of my partner being the same! Neither one of us are normal, I have tried to do medical studies to help others and told I don't qualify, because of the spleen that I had removed in 1981, Then in 1985 I was told I would most likely be dead in a year, I finally got sick in 1997 and now am disabled by the mistakes that the doctors made treating me for one disease while blowing my complaints off for other issues, that have left me permanently disabled. My partner was diagnosed Epileptic and 30 some years of medications later with the damage they have done, its decided that he wasn't epileptic in the first place, he was just suffering from pseudo seizures, no medications needed, his Whipple was needed after the years of unnecessary medications. It should be easier to find a doctor that listens to their patients, if we had more of those we wouldn't be in this shape! I would say it's about 1 in 10 doctors that actually listen to their patients or actually looks at the charts that they have in their hands. Kinda goes along with my stint in the Navy Nuclear Program, the smarter you are the less likely you are to have any common sense and listen to others that might know something you don't!

What’s a partner?

The same exact thing happened to me and im on disability too. Mine started in 2003 and I was in my early 20s. I still suffer from pancreatitis on a very regular basis. I have exhausting pain and nausea every day. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy !

I am sorry to hear this , I hope situations got better for you & you partner as well, wishing him a life long healthiness , I am also suffering Big Big time !! I am sorry everyone, but I have to tell you this. Whipple surgery maybe the reason behind saving some ppl’s lives. But plz plz think twice before taking the risk. Ask multiple doctors make sure if there are any alternatives. I got to tell you this: My lovely father was completely healthy before this evil procedure. everything was normal until one day he had jaundice due to pancreatic cancer. Dr told us he had to undergo this procedure because it’s the only chance for survival. He underwent this procedure before 42 days. none a single day was fine !! since day 6 post operation he started to have deadly hemorrhage episodes and he was shockingly vomiting BLOOD !! he went for 2 other laparoscopy operations after that to fix the complications the dr had to remove the whole pancreas and spleen too in the second procedure !! !! not to mention the infection, peritonitis, frequent hiccups, lung infection, huge amounts of pus and fluids coming out from drains. the inability to eat anything , the leakage from abdomen as the anastomosis between stomach & intestine never healed , and finally after 42 days post damn whipple procedure my father is in COMA he doesn’t respond to us anymore !! I lost my precious father because of that hell evil procedure . I swear it was designed to make ppl suffer to death !!

I'm supposed to have this surgery in the next couple days.... do you know why your other organs are failing?

Me too..20 year survivor here. St. Luke;s Hospital, Dr. Michael Appel.

Which stage he had

Mao M thanks fam

Hi

Did you undergo chemotherapy after the surgery?

@@muffyd6983 Yes, starting 6 weeks after the surgery I had a series of 16 treatments with Zophran for nausea and Gemzar as the toxin via regular IV drip. I tolerated it well and the test and CT scan results came back so goo that treatments 17 and 18 were cancelled.

hi Two4Brew! This is very helpful and so thankful for your recovery!

@@cynthiaaileen Basically, you will want your mom to eat a protein heavy diet going into the procedure, plus Walk, Walk, Walk. These near 7 years post-surgery, I am able to eat 99.99% of the foods I did pre-cancer. However, I do eat a better balanced diet, lower in fat than before.

Don't worry. Lots of people are praying for your health.

Good luck. God bless

Great to hear that

Now what about your mother

FlamQ Dbltap Thank you for sharing your story! Stories like yours gives us hope! His surgery got canceled unfortunately, his tumor is too close to the main artery but he just finished 25 rounds of radiation, we are shooting for April now for surgery! His tumor marker went from 37 to 200 so we are worried it has spread again. But his oncologist said it could possibly be from the treatment itself, last time it spread his tumor marker was 600. He has MRI of the liver this Friday and on March 4 he has CT of the pancreas. We need lots of prayers rn.

@@gardenrose1038 how is your brother now?

How is your dad doing

@@kristieandjeff2720 He is doing great. Surgery was a success. Tumor is gone. It took a little longer than usual but he is good. He was released from the hospital a few days ago. You're sweet to ask. Thank you.

@@Holly5794 yay!! So happy to hear that and I will keep you both in my prayers!

@@aiswaryaraveendran6358 Thank you for the reply! Unfortunately he passed about 2 months after I posted this. He passed peacefully.

Hope your dad is doing well

@@arymhansie hmm he is doing well ❤️

Glad you enjoyed the video and that you are doing well after the procedure. Thanks for sharing with us uk!

You have made the right decision, better to be safe than sorry, It is a complicated procedure but be positive, You will not develop Pancreatic cancer and that, my friend, is a wonderful thing.
