Dr. John Hunter answered

Specializes in General Surgery

Whipple: You need to see a doctor ASAP. Nausea/vomiting/distention could be from the chemo, but could also be a bowel obstruction or stricturing of one of the new bowel connections from the Whipple operation. This would require in-hospital treatment.
