Whipple procedure anyone?

Hi, I've just joined and was wondering if anyone knows anything about this type of surgery? My husband has just had it to deal with a malignant duodenal ulcer, which we know is a rare type of cancer but its all very new to us and everything has happened so fast. Any help or advice regarding enzyme therapy tablets (Creon) in particular - and good food choices (I cook everything and anything from scratch) would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi Rosie,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. You will find this a useful resource for advice and support from people who have had  first-hand experience of what your hubby is going through..

    I am afraid that I know nothing about Whipples Procedure, but if you press the search button on the blue band at the top of this page and put Whipples Procedure in the search box, this will bring up previous posts on this topic which you might find helpful. There is a good response there from one of the nurses, which I’m sure will help.. You can do the same for Creon and Food options.

    This should also introduce you to others who have had this procedure and give you contacts who should be able to answer some of your questions.

    Do please keep us updated on how your husband gets on along his cancer journey. There is always someone here to talk to whenever you want to chat.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
