Can Ampulla Cancer Reoccur?
My husband had ampulla cancer 2010, he had a whipple, and all subsequent scans have been clear. He has had a scan today and is concerned because he had to go through 3-times and was asked if he had recentely had chemo. or some recent treatment, what could this indicate. We are worried. Pam Lill

going through scan three times just doesnt indicate anything about disease but findings on scan are more important. If the scans are normal nothing to worry. Since 4 years elapsed chances of recurrence are low, but still present and follow up needs to be done
