Welcome @breezygirl, I moved your question about distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy to this existing discussion:
- What's recovery after distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy like? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/recovery-after-distal-pancreatectomy-and-splenectomy/
I did this so you can read previous posts and connect with members who have had this procedure like @blw77 @skkirby @leighs2011 @faithjlv @ken240 @cathyras @patti303 @nhow234 @avargas @gamaryanne @kim1965 and many others.
What options other than surgery are being considered for your husband, @breezygirl?

I guess no other procedures are suggested. Removing 40% of the pancreas (the tail) and the spleen. Our surgeon said we could decide against this but he might continue to have pancreatitis and pain always. We just need to speak to someone who has had this done for this reason and get some advice.
