Ampullary cancer with no treatment

I was diagnosed with Ampullary cancer in November 2024 and that came as a total shock since I was being treated for a pressure sore. My doctor recommends not having a Whipple. I have had MS that was first diagnosed in 1984 and it is quite advanced being paralyzed from my waist down. My left side has only gross motor control. I felt sick all through the holiday season and had no appetite losing 15 pounds. In January I started to feel much better and my appetite started to return. In February my appetite came back and I have started feeling much to feel much, much better. I have no idea what is happening. I’m having a CT scan done next month. Is this normal and I’m just waiting for the hammer to drop?
