Again, thank you for your thoughts, words, and prayers. They must be working! The pancreatic specialist thinks they got all of it, with only one lymph node taken along with half her pancreas. She has to go through chemo...we go see that doctor tomorrow, and he is the one who worked with me during my fight with cancer, which means she's in good hands. She can't eat much and has lost 12 pounds she didn't have to lose, but they say by the third month she might be back to eating semi-normally. Besides part of the pancreas, they took her duodenum, gall bladder, and part of the bile duct; it's an operation called the Whipple. I keep seeing the guy with the toilet paper commercials in my head. She has to have prescribed enzymes now in order to properly digest her food, at least for fats, but that's better than the alternative! We are all coping well enough here. Hope to be playing again soon. You all take care.
