Just diagnosed with pancreatic NET stage 1

My partner a 63 years old had the same one but it was highly suggested by the endocrinologist to remove the spleen as tumour was a little big tho encapsulated and sitting in the tail and he could possibly come back after 2 months to remove spleen. He just came out of recovery going to ICU as we speak. As I heard he is doing well and everything is good. Looking forward to see him soon

The surgery is tough, but after the third day things get much better. Please get him up and moving as soon as he can. I walked every two hours, no matter the pain level and it made all the difference. Rest is super important and so is a good protein diet during recovery. But making the effort to move was crucial to my recovery. Best of luck. Sounds like you did the right thing. How big was the tumor?

I'm so glad to hear of his successful surgery, @c2pricorn66! I hope that all goes well for him as he continues his recovery.
Do you know yet, how long he will be hospitalized? I hope you will continue to post updates as you can.
