My wife was diagnosed with duodenal cancer in February, 2025.

The doctor advised a “Whipple procedure” in order to remove the growth. This is an extensive surgery but has high rates of success.

The surgery was completed, and was followed with 6 months of chemotherapy to reduce the chances for a reoccurrence.

A month ago, my wife awoke with excruciating stomach pain. Apparently scar tissue from the initial surgery had blocked her small intestine.

She was advised to return to the hospital where the Whipple procedure was done.

They removed 10 inches of the small intestine and reconnected it.

She has gone through so much this past year, and yet, like so many other cancer patients who have “rung the bell” (completed chemotherapy with no signs of cancer), has had complications post surgery.

Seems like a good beginners piano. I bought the Faber books (recommended by this sub), as well as a used iPad M1 to use the Simply Piano app.

The only downside is the height of the keyboard. I am 6’ 1” and I think I am going to have to add some length to the stand.

I also have my wife’s beginning piano books from the 1960’s, and will see what they have to offer.

I don’t read music, so learning that, and correct posture and hand position are my focus. Ultimate goal is to play Scott Joplin rags. I mentioned this to a friend and he said they are very difficult.

I knew that, but will keep moving towards this goal.
