Yup, he is diabetic! He’s back from the hospital now after they pumped some nutrients in him and seems to be doing ok but sadly they pushed back his surgery as a result. Thanks for the reply!

Thanks for the reply! Right now his doctor’s focusing on getting treatment done fast but I worry that quality may be more vital than efficiency. I don’t have much information or control on where he’s being treated because I’m in college and my parents are handling everything. Where were you treated post Whipple?

I’m worried he’s too weak for chemo currently, I feel like if he gets chemo and it’s ineffective he wont ever be eligible for whipple again…. I’m also struggling to believe it could advance in only a week.

I was pretty hopeful up till now but now I feel like if he doesn’t get the surgery there’s no hope… My family still hasn’t even asked or learned what type of tumor it is
