@marvinjsturing I know nothing about pancreas transplants, but why did they only remove part of your pancreas?

@contentandwell My cancer surgery took 8 1/2 hours. The surgeon said it would have taken too long to remove the entire pancreas. In a typical Whipple procedure, they remove the cancerous part of the pancreas and then reattach the remaining part of the pancreas back into the digestive system. My pancreas was so bad that they didn't even connect it to the digestive system.
