I have to get a Whipple procedure done on 02.29.24 due to having AFAP. I have a tumor in my bile duct & over 100 polps in the beginning of the small intestines. Last year on 03.17.23 I had to have my colon & rectum out due to colorectal cancer and now I have an ileostomy bag. Due to the AFAP one day this will take me out. I feel like I'm on borrowed time & my days are limited. I have to be honest, I'm terrified to have the Whipple procedure and all it is going to do is prolong my life maybe 5yrs if I'm lucky... I am extremely conflicted about having this surgery 😢
