  • Hello Southeastpartner,

    Welcome to our forum and I hope you will meet others here who have been in a similar situation and are able to offer support and advice. I am sorry to hear that  the Whipples procedure made your partner very ill.

    If you live in the UK, perhaps you could give our nurses a call on this free number 0808 800 4040 and talk things through with them? Their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.

    Best wishes,
