I had adjuvant chemotherapy after whipple procedure for ampullary tumour. I was lucky it was early stage. February 2021 was date of my surgery. Cancer free at present. Surgeons are truly gifted.

I’m T1, with no lymph node involvement, but there’s a possible “vascular” involvement. My oncologist is suggesting 6 months of chemo. Is this excessive?
