Thanks for asking! Kim is approaching 4 weeks post surgery this week. The pain associated earlier in the two weeks after surgery eating is similar, but she is more knowledgeable now about how much to eat, never eating to that “full” feeling. Grazing throughout the day is still good advice. Kim is diabetic, so all this surgery removing tail of pancreas, is very challenging finding the new normal in controlling her counts. She hopes to return to her job part time in mid April. We meet with our Cancer care team this week to determine next steps, in trying to keep the NET as a mtn. item going forward.

Hoping your journey after surgery is going ok? How are you doing? Kim is ok, but getting her diabetes to a new normal has become difficult with big highs and lows trying to find a middle ground.
