Update on my son…. It’s actually a lot but will cut to chase. He had surgery last Wednesday 10/2/25. Splenectomy, the vessel involved, partial pancreatectomy, cholecystectomy, debulking of involved LN as well as areas around the stomach. It was a hard surgery we are still in the STICU. Hopefully will go to stepdown next few days. He does have an octretide drip going . Spiking fevers heart rate elevated but due to removal of tumor hence the drip. I don’t leave his side. the goal to give him a better quality of life,decrease the tumor burden and live as long as possible. Which all feel is possible now. This is now a chronic “disease “ ! This damn pancreatic glucagonoma

@llr9f What an amazing report! I can see that his medical team has accomplished a great deal to decrease the tumor burden. Please let me know how he is doing and when he goes to a step-down unit. My prayers are with you both!

@llr9f , Godspeed to your son's recovery!
I had same surgery +hysterectomy on Feb.1'23. "Still around and kicking"- traveled 3 times to Europe; had our son's wedding in Italy! Hugs to you and him! There is still life after this diagnosis!💜🦓
