For Many Pancreatic Cancer Patients, Life After the Whipple Procedure Can be Complex, and Difficult.
The goal of the Life After Whipple Project is to research, collect, and disseminate information that may be helpful for Pancreatic cancer survivors who have had, or are considering, the Whipple Procedure.
When initially diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, patients often find a significant amount of data, medical information, statistics, and advice about this disease, and the growing list of options for treatment.
However, for those who survive after finishing these treatments, there is little medical information or advice about how to live with the aftermath of these treatments—especially for Whipple sugery patients.
The Life After Whipple website is designed to help patients, and their families, make informed decisions in their pancreatic cancer journey. Information from key medical professionals, and current medical literature, will be collected and presented in this website.
Information is power.

Presentations
Life After Whipple presentations address specific problems caused by pancreatic cancer and treatments—tooth loss, osteopenia, nutrition, gastric problems, neuropathy, and many others. This library will grow over time to provide relevant information for everyone with pancreatic cancer.
Lost Organ Anatomy
Whipple surgeries remove important organs and/or tissue. For each possible loss, this section reviews: The functions of that organ, problems caused by its removal, and strategies for mitigating those problems.
