hi@@qwertyuiopasdfghj001 Dietician focused on protein and calories to retain weight and muscle, but I had really bad nausea (probably worse than the final rounds of chemo) and also could not have normal sized meals. The biggest thing that was overlooked was the poor absorption of vitamins and minerals -- has led to anemia and some other deficiencies which could have been prevented by taking supplements after leaving hospital. Surgery was in May23, diagnosed Aug22 with stage two 28mm adenocarcinoma, 11 rounds of chemo (folfirinox) which led to only 1mm of the tumor being viable when analysed after removal. Still feel very fatigued - can sleep for 10 hours then wake up for 3 and go back to bed for another 10 hours. Fortunately, I have always enjoyed sleeping.
had a whipple 5 months ago. Ever-lasting thanks to the health professionals working in this area.
what diet did you have post surgery? how do you feel now?

For 2023...I'm shocked we are so far behind for this type of cancer.
