I had a whipple 5 years ago this month. What a beast of a surgery. I think I was in the hospital for about two weeks, only to go back two times due to fever. My cancer was on my small intestine just outside of the pancreas. So far, so good, now 5 years out. I had two drains from my abdomen after surgery for almost two months, so my chemo was delayed until March or April. (you would think I would remember specific dates and such, but 2013 was just a blur). I did Chemo for 6 months after the drains were removed. I did the infusion on a Monday (I called it getting my drip on), then on pills for two weeks, off a week the did the routine all over again. I ended up loosing almost 50lbs. The said after the whipple you will eat more, smaller meals, however I feel like after the chemo, my meals are just the same (as evidenced by the fact I am now heavier than I was pre surgery, which was not the plan :)
You know what the chemo is like, it sounds like. I have an idea of what you are going through, so hang in there, there is light at the end of that long tunnel.
I am pulling for you.
Edit: my apologies, I did not really look at the date of the original post I responded to, I thought this was more recent, thus my long posting, but I see it looks like things are well, happy to read that.
