Hi Ogie
I'm not a member of this group but noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.
Wishing you all the best
Hi Ogie, I guess it depends on your Consultant, my brother has had whipples op in May, just finished 6 rounds of flofirinox, which made him so poorly, but he done what he could. Had his first scan a couple of months ago,which was clear and the consultant was please with the report. The professor who my brother is under said that he will monitor him with just scans as blood test don’t really detect pancreatic cancers. He had another scan booked for Jan.
