Did the cancer go into your veins like myself? My spleen, gall bladder, and liver are clear. Just my pancreas tail, portal and splenic veins.

The doctors didn't say anything about veins, but since that part of the pancreas shares blood supply with the spleen that went too. So I need periodic vaccines to compensate.

Think the main risk is metastasis to the liver, which I have unfortunately. No symptoms until 2 months before diagnosis so I doubt that time mattered much.
