 None of the above worked for my son.

He had a total pancreatectomy April 29, 2016.

He no pancreas pain since his surgery. 

Dear Debbie,

Thank you very much for that info/answer you have given us and I hope your son is well today!

I know that some treatments doesn't work for some patients very well since I have a surgery myself (the tail of my pancreas has been removed).

And that is one of the reason why I wrote at the end in the above text: "And another - seen as a last possible - treatment is surgery.", because doctors will go - first - into a 'conservative' way (Creon, painkilling treatment, etc.) and then they will do the pancreatectomy as a possible last way to help patient.

Not all pancreatitis patients needs (all) those treatments, it depends on a lot of things (which pancreatitis [acute/chronic/cancer, etc.], age, [other] health [issues] [or not], the cause of the pancreatitis, etc.). Because such a surgery is very riskful only because of time only (narcose is taking easely up and above five hours - mine took six and a half hours - so if a patient isn't fit enough doctors will not risk it.

Again, thank you for your info! I tried with the text above, to inform and explain the most possible ways that are common to treat a pancreatitis.
