I had my pancreas, gallbladder, and spleen removed 3 months ago. Initial recovery in the hospital was tough. Lots of extra fluid weight, drains, pain, GI issues. Now that I'm home and it's been 3 months, the main things are diarrhea and adjusting to being an insulin dependent diabetic. I'm 41 years old and was in good shape prior to surgery. I'm back to walking an hour a day and doing weight exercises. Most importantly, I am Cancer Free!!

Great news! Get back to doing life and make sure to never miss those scan appointments. We all hate the scanxiety that comes with them, but just remember the earlier we know something the sooner we can get on top of it!

Praises to the Great Physician for you!!
