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

I was diagnosed with 5 pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (not adenocarcinoma). They were up to 5 cm in size so there was not much choice to remove the entire pancreas during the week of Thanksgiving 2019 at Cleveland Clinic main campus.
The main side effects are (1) fragile diabetes and (2) pancreatic insufficiency. I use a Tandem t-slim pump and a Dexcom G7 CGM to manage diabetes and use Creon for enzyme supplements.
