Showing Original Post only (View all)A good friend is having a Whipple Procedure today. [View all]
Please keep a good thought for him. It's a huge operation for pancreatic cancer that takes hours to complete. He's considered to be a good candidate for the surgery, so we're all wishing him well. It's a tough day for his family and his friends, so we're all anxious that it goes well.

Egads. I didn't think they even did Whipples anymore. We haven't done them in years.
