Hello, my name is Deborah and on Januay 2012 I had a TIA during this time many tests were taken and it was discovered that I had a tumor in my pancreas. A biopsy was done, and lost 12 months later they said they wanted to do another biopsy and it stated on the report due to patient being uncomfortable we were unable to biopsy. 18 months later a CT scan was order and a 3rd attempt of a biopsy was done and at this time it was determined that I had stage 1 neuorendocrine malignant tumor in my pancreas. They proceeded to remove 1/3 of my pancreas repaired two hernias in the process and was sent home after a week. My incision healed really fast from the outside but not the inside. I had to be reopened three times and had to be on a wound vac two times. They say I am doing well but the constant back pain is sometimes unbearable. Dr.s say the cancer was very well encapsulated and very slow growing and they stated that it was all removed. But why am I so tired and in so much pain? Does anybody have any answers it has been 9 months since the first operation. I am glad to finally find people who I can talk to because it is so hard to talk to family about this. I dont want them to feel sad or fell pity on me.
