I'm not sure what the experience of your vet it, but only about 40% of
insulinomas return within 10 months, and if a partial pancreatectomy is
performed, the average disease-free interval is over a year.  I am always
hesitant to leave an obviously affected adrenal in for any reason,
especially when insulinoma surgery may well be curative.

[Sukie note: this ferret had both a pancreatic growth and an adrenal
growth, but I thought that the re-occurrence numbers would be of interest
to many.]
