Pancreatic cancer update - Part 3

Hi All,
For those of you who have been following my PC cancer saga here is the latest.
I last posted the weekend before my Whipple surgery (to remove the tumor) and I want to apologise for not posting sooner that I am still alive! I will admit there are days I have doubts but they are getting fewer and farther between.
The surgery went well and the tumor is gone! Pathology results show currently no sign of disease! It more than likely will will return, but for now we are good (I know it is confusing as the tumor is 'gone' but that is PC). I was in the hospital for 15 days. When I got home I was put on a feeding tube which lasted about 5 days. I couldn't tolerate the feeding tube or eating and was sick to my stomach for 2 weeks. Go back to my surgeon and find out I was not prescribed a medication to help the food move out of my stomach! So, my recovery was pushed back by two weeks.
I am now starting to feel better and take more of an interest on things going on.
So, that is the latest. Thank all of you for the thoughts and prayers you sent my way before the surgery, please keep them coming as I can still use them.
Oh, one bummer - found out I have to go through 6 months more of chemo, starts next Monday :(!

I'm smiling as I am very happy for you. Continue to kick cancer's arse.

This is such great news! Thank you for the update. Just approach the chemo as a "means to an end". You have already kicked so much arse, you can handle this. It won't be forever and every day you do it is a day closer to putting this behind you. I'm still praying for you!

Go back to my surgeon and find out I was not prescribed a medication to help the food move out of my stomach! So, my recovery was pushed back by two weeks.
Thought and Prayers, keep the faith!
