@ivy1951 My Husband also had a Distal Pancreatectomy in July 2024. They did not get clear margins which we only found out after the Tissue went for an outside pathology. Cancer was also in 14 of the 20 Lymph Nodes which were removed. Biopsy of the lungs confirmed pancreatic cancer in several nodules in his lungs. He never received any Chemo or any other treatment. He just lost his battle this morning. Without any treatment other than the Surgery in 2024, he lived for over 2 years. He had a great quality of Life up until a couple months ago,
Only God can determine when he is ready for your Husband. I don't want to give you false hope but I would get a second opinion. The Lung Nodules grew very slowly and my Husband never had any pain or any other symptoms from them.
Live your Lives to the fullest and please don't think that a year is all he has. I don't know all of the circumstances but people are living so much longer now.
