About Teege

Hello,

I am a 62 year old Male. I was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer in May 2021 4 moths after having my Gall Bladder removed.

I underwent the Whipple procedure in Late July of 2021 and then commenced 12 cycles of chemotherapy from November 2021 until March 2022.

The chemotherapy was worse than the Surgery in my opinion, the worst 6 months of my life without a doubt.

Slowly making progress, weight going back up, taste back to normal, and able to be very active. Unfortunately, the surgery left me with a rather large

Incisional hernia which will require surgery at some point, Although the physical side seems to be improving , the mental side is still very difficult.
