Looking for experience



Just received a call from a patient who has pancreatic cancer and is facing a Whipple procedure. The family would like to take her to a facility that has a surgeon that does this procedure on a routine basis, has good results, and is part of a blood conservation program. Patient is Jehovah's Witness and will not accept blood products. Presently at Mayo Clinic getting a 2nd opinion. Any recommendations?
