I'm 68 and 20 months removed from surgery for pancreatic cancer. There is very little that I can't do or eat that I could before surgery. What symptoms did you have that led to your diagnosis?

@jnowling Hi. I had a raised HbaIc reading and was referred for a scan. They found a small lesion on my pancreas. I met with the surgeon and he recommended a full pancreas removal as well as my spleen. Im having all the pre op tests now but wanted to converse with someone who had been through it. (What were the side effects, and did it impact on your life much). Again, I wondered if avoiding surgery was possible ?. Thanks.
