Description

Dr. Keith Roach is a physician at Weill Cornell Medical College and New York Presbyterian Hospital. He writes an educational column on infectious diseases, public health and sports medicine.

DEAR DR ROACH: I’m a 79-year-old male in reasonably good shape. I am 6 feet, 2 inches tall, and weigh 210 pounds. During a colonoscopy, the doctor noticed that the head of my pancreas was way larger than it should be. I saw a surgeon who advised that it was precancerous after an MRI and a biopsy. I decided on Whipple surgery and will be getting it done in about a month.
