Geoff's Diagnosis

In November 2013 he started turning a little yellow. After visiting his physician we knew there was some kind of blockage by his liver. A few days later he had a CT scan which revealed a mass on the head of his pancreas. It is likely pancreatic cancer, although there is a possibility it is benign. He is scheduled to undergo a whipple procedure to remove part of the pancreas and tumor. This is currently scheduled for Friday December 13th. This is a major surgery.  His surgeon is Dr. Belnap and we are grateful to have him, he is certainly an expert. Since the scan he has been hospitalized a few times, nothing serious, but getting him as healthy as possible for surgery. Please check back regularly, any major news and events will be updated in posts.  He is currently at Salt Lake Regional Medical Center which is also where the surgery will take place.
