Your #pancreas is located in the back of your #abdomen (belly) behind your #stomach and just above your small #intestine 

Although part of your pancreas will be removed during surgery, there is usually enough of it left to produce hormones and enzymes.

• If your remaining pancreas doesn’t make enough enzymes to digest the food you eat, you may have diarrhea. If this happens, you may need to take pills with meals and snacks to replace the enzymes.
• If your remaining pancreas doesn’t make enough insulin, you may have high blood sugar level. High blood sugar level is rarely a problem but if you do experience it, your healthcare team will help you.

Your spleen is located next to your pancreas. It makes white blood cells that help your body fight infections. Your spleen also filters your blood, stores blood cells, and destroys old blood cells. Your spleen may need to be removed if the tumor involves blood vessels that supply your spleen.
