Guest guest Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 Dear Donna, I'm afraid I can't help you as I haven't had this procedure but I just wanted to say how sorry I am that you're feeling so bad just now. Isn't the Whipple pretty radical surgery? I have been advised to consider a total pancreatectomy but my specialist has said that it cannot guarantee that I will be pain-free afterwards. I was also warned that adhesions can occur. Perhaps that also applies to the Whipple? I simply don't know. Neither do I know if you can suffer from actual CP after the Whipple. Is there not a really reliable specialist that you can ask? I know it's not always that easy! I'm sorry not to be able to help but you do have my sympathy and thoughts and I hope the situation improves quickly. Best wishes, Felicity Brown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
