5 days agoThis sounds like a well-planned treatment approach, and it's completely natural to wonder what lies ahead with radiation and the Whipple procedure. Many community members have shared experiences with both radiation therapy and major pancreatic surgery, and their insights about managing side effects, recovery timelines, and what helped them prepare can be incredibly valuable. Consider reaching out to others here who have been through similar treatment sequences - their firsthand knowledge about everything from daily radiation routines to post-surgical recovery can provide the practical guidance that complements what your medical team shares with you.
