Hello @mikelab and welcome to the Pancreatic Cancer support group on Mayo Connect. I am glad that you found this forum. It helps so much to meet others who are on a journey similar to yours.

First of all, congratulations on the effectiveness of the chemotreatment. Not having any growth or metastasis is good news.

We have a discussion group that might be of interest to you. Here is the link,
--Recovery after distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy
https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/recovery-after-distal-pancreatectomy-and-splenectomy/
I would also like to invite some other members of the Pancreatic Support group to meet you and share their experiences like @mnewland99 @stageivsurvivor @gamaryanne and others.

I look forward to hearing from you again, Mike. How are you feeling now? Have you been able to maintain your weight? Do you have any specific digestive problems?

Thanks for the welcome.
I'm feeling fairly good. Dealing with neuropathy and having a difficult time with that. Hopefully it will clear up in the not to distant future.
Due to other side effects I've lost about 50 pounds since my treatment began in July. The weight loss seems to have stabilized for now. I do have a hard time eating however. Just not interested in food. My wife keeps me going though and we have pretty good control over it now. Looking forward to hearing any advise.
