I am a non cancerous person that underwent a full open whipple in July 2024 (almost 2 years ago). To this day, I still get spasms a few times a month, generally I have come to learn that these spasms lead to what I have come to refer to as an "episode" or an "attack" as generally, after feeling the spasm, I know that I am going to have a greater abdominal issue that usually brings me to the ground in pain and loss of breath. These episodes generally last about 3 to 4 minutes, then I feel the "trauma" from the episode for generally an hour or so. These episodes are mostly manageable, but I have a few from time to time that really knock me out for a bit....
