Hello @jules1962milkshake and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I am glad to hear that you have found this site interesting and perhaps helpful. We have many members on Connect who share their stories of pancreatic cancer. I'm glad to hear that you have completed the surgery and the chemotherapy. I understand that waiting for the first follow-up appointment can be stressful.

I want to invite some other members of this group to post with you, including @stageivsurvivor and @tomrennie.

I see that you had a distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy. We have discussion groups for members who have had these surgeries. Here are some links to those discussions:
--What's recovery like after Distal Pancreatectomy and Splenectomy?

--What are others doing about pancreatic enzyme replacement?

How are you feeling post-surgery? Are you able to eat comfortably, or do you have any digestive problems?
