Something of this magnitude deserves a second opinion. My surgeon was very supportive of having someone else give his opinion. My wife ,who if anyone knows her is on top of things, was able to get me into Dr. Wolfgang at Johns Hopkins Hospital after a few phone calls. After meeting with one of the nations top pancreatic surgeons he confirmed that he does not feel that Cancer is present at this time. He did state that in his opinion I will need a Whipple to prevent an occurrence in the future. Surgical meeting in St Louis is scheduled for March 19th. Side note * – I met a great couple that happen to be in Baltimore for their annual post Whipple scan at Johns Hopkins. Same diagnosis as mine two years earlier and he is doing great. Thank you for answering my 3 hours worth of questions. Second photo is of me on the plane ride home (Mentally exhausted)!
