In December of 2022, I had surgery for a P-Net, NF, 1.7 cm. on the tail of my Pancreas. Part of the body, the tail, and the spleen were removed. Also, 13 lymph nodes. Every three months, I have a CT-scam and so far no recurrence. (This was an incidental find.). The recovery , looking back, was not too painful. My surgeon was wonderful and had done his training at Mayo, so I felt very secure with him and his team. By the way, I am 83.

I appreciate our encouraging post, @suzyis7. Congratulations on your CT scans showing no recurrence. I'm glad that you had a well-trained surgeon.

Did the removal of part of your pancreas result in any blood sugar problems for you? I'm also wondering if you need to take Creon or other digestive enzymes.
