Hi tyrol123
Partner was scheduled for bilateral hernia repair. Prior to that, he's had CT scan where they found lesions in his pancreas. So it was further investigated via gastroscopy/biopsy and was found a nonfumctioning, benign and encapsulated tumour in the tail also a little shadow in the head. PET scan (dotate) confirmed dormancy. But surgeon wants it removed due to its size and might change its behaviour. It says it's rare but finding it more and more cases but most metastasise

Hang on there. Things will be okay once you get through the other end (recovery). 've been through this for my partner and wasn't pleasant. I feel the world just collapsed on us but there's nothing we can do about it except face it.

Make sure you're eating nutritious food pre and post surgery. No lifting just passive walk everyday post op. Might experience some shoulder pain from the gas. Should you experience tummy ache post eating discuss with your surgeon, might put you on creon tablet like my partner. He's still got a drain D15 hoping to get it out next Friday. Have faith on your surgeon, yourself and up above.
