Surgery Information

The surgery you need is called The Whipple Procedure.
It's a risky procedure, only recommended to be done by VERY experienced doctors.
The survival rate is bleak, but, if successful, 25% of patients live five years past their diagnoses.

How does it work?
Your gall bladder, bile duct, duodenum, and head of pancreas are all removed, sometimes even more.
Then, it is the surgeon's job to reroute your intestines, attaching it directly then to your stomach, liver, and pancreas.
It is very costly and, currently, you can't work, so you have no income.
