So sorry to hear about this.
I don't know how advanced your cancer is but from my prostate cancer experience, the diagnosis made me think about my future. It took my wife and myself less than five minutes to decide to remove the prostate as opposed to the other options. I'm now cancer free.
I read about the Whipple procedure and it sounds like a big deal. Are you sure you want to put off the surgery?
