Hello!
my husband has had a cancerous growth in the ampulla of Vater removed via the Whipple procedure just over a month ago. We were incredibly lucky that it was operable and it hadn’t spread yet, but he has been told he will still need chemotherapy as a precaution. Today we finally received the appointment letter. He will see his oncologist on fourth August. However, because we also have two children who have found all of this quite difficult, we really want to spend some time away on a family holiday together before his chemo starts. Should we try to do that immediately, that is before his appointment, or will his appointment only set out a timeline rather than start his chemo immediately? We weren’t sure if there would be time for us to go anywhere afterwards. Would you know how these things normally work? Thank you so much!
