Hi Colleen and Group Members,

I'm Catherine, I would say that it's nice to be here but that would be disingenuous.

I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer on Aug 26th. Since the tumor is located at the tail of my pancreas, it is operable. I will have a ductal splenectomy and pancreatectomy on 9/22.

I am hopeful for a good outcome.

Welcome, Catherine. I know we're not the club you were hoping to join, but we're glad you found us. This is all very new for you and you must have many questions.

Such a relief that your tumor is operable. @luckyone4321 @chemobile @kjrita @drileymn @buckslayer and others can share their experiences with pancreatectomy.

Catherine, what questions do you have as prepare for surgery? Will you have a family member(s) with you?
