Had the procedure on 18th November but had problem and was opened up again 4 days late

Slight leak from pancreas join so had drains. Also sepsis and a super bug so in ICU/ HDU for 17 days

Have been out for a couple of weeks and gradually ad slowly returning to normal.

Today I have been informed that I have to meet medical oncologist specialist as tests show I had Ampullary Adenocarcinoma - I had thought no news was good news and it was precancerous cells in the ampulla

Feel a bit down now as don't know what to expect

No worries! I had adenocarcioma of the ampulla as well. I had a round of chemo (po) so not bad.. I got through this and you can too! I’m totally fine now. Thanks be to God!
