Diagnosed March 15, 2018 - Major Surgery on March 20th - Removed:  Body and Tail of Pancreas, Left, kidney, left adrenal gland, Spleen, peeled off hepatic (liver) and removed grapefruit size mass.  Incision starts on left side, just below scapula and goes down my entire left side and curves around towards navel.  Thorocotomy in left side cutting through ribs, through diaphram to other side.
Life and body changing.  I am now a surgical diabetic and will have to take diabetic/insulin type medication and Creon, which are pancreatic enzymes which are necessary for digestion.
Grateful, Appreciative and Thankful each and every day.
Dealing with possible recurrence and taking action. 
Will expand on my journey and provide valuable information for "Are You Prepared" - "Things To Watch For" and more.
