Hi Matt,
Thank you for your reply. I was seen at Mass General in Boston when I first found out about the IPMN, that was 2023, that highly recommended doctor who does many of these surgeries was inclined to say to do the Whipple proactively. I also saw a doctor at MUSC in Charleston SC and
his opinion was that the Whipple was
not necessarily in my future. How long ago was your surgery, are you back to a new normal? I am a very active person and eat well, non-smoker, not much of a drinker. Where was your surgery? Thank you

Did you receive a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, and I did re-read that this was 6 years ago for you.
