@0083a, you must be so worried about your child. For rare conditions, you may wish to consider consulting with Mayo Clinic experts at Mayo Clinic Children's https://www.mayoclinic.org/departments-centers/childrens-center
Here is information about how to contact them and request an appointment

You can also ask about eligibility for a clinical trial.

So sorry but you are wrong. My spleen was removed in 2007 with a third of my pancreas. I am 18 years post op now. You can live just FINE without a spleen. Talk to a doctor at Mayo. They will second this. Get surgery if humanly poss. Tumors in the pancreas must be CUT or lasered out! They can do most with laperscopes and that type of surgery doesn’t even hurt.
