No her's was a partial pancreatectomy.Think @eggyg got her 3c courtesy of a Whipples. At least they can now tell you all this before they whip out whatever's causing it, because they're confident you'll survive so it is a major step forward, that!
Good luck - we have quite a number of 3cs on the forum these days and they'll all try and help you get on OK afterwards - as the rest of us would anyway, but not with personal experience as they have.
Good luck with it @Rob226.
