I feel like I’m fairly well-versed on this horrible disease, but this video contains lots of information I did not know. I am a survivor of pancreatic cancer and a Whipple procedure. Evidently I’ve lived longer than is usually expected after a Whipple. Doctors and nurses are high on my list of heroes, as they obviously saved my life. Thank you for the video sir. I appreciate it. 👍🏻

Sir need ur opinion. After surgery my dad faced issue of bile leak. After second surgery if that happens again then what should we do?? Doctor suggested to wait for next 4 days (pancreas and bile duct stitches were broken after first surgery).

Hello from Scotland. I was recently found to have a 3cm mucinous neoplasm on the tail of my pancreas. I’m 55 and don’t smoke or drink. It was spotted during a CT scan on my thymus. I do have myasthenia gravis. How sad it’s there without having a symptom. I have no symptoms and feel fine.
