Hi Can you please share what state was your tumour when you have total pancreatectomy and did you have chemotherapy?
I had total pancreatectomy 7 weeks ago and is waiting for my chemotherapy.

@joeseah - Hi there! Hope you are recovering well from surgery! It is a major one and took me a bit to get back into the swing of things.
I had 4 pNET tumors ranging from 2.5 cm to 4.5 cm with many small tumors present. I had 13 lymph nodes removed and only one showed malignancy so I did not require chemotherapy. I was home after 6 days in the hospital and went back to work remotely after two weeks.
The biggest challenge was balancing the diabetes with the pancreatic enzyme supplements. How are you doing with your recovery? Happy to share my experiences if it helps.
Take good care of yourself
- Matt
