Guest guest Posted July 30, 2001 Report Share Posted July 30, 2001 Lynn, I've done the same thing so many times. This week I sent an article to this list about drug users using embalming fluid for a high! It wasn't supposed to be sent here LOL! I go on pretty regular rants about the drugs the kids are using today. All of us are hurt by the stiff regulations on pain meds we need because of those that abuse them. It's not fair. I hope you find a dress, and I hope it's on sale! I too am only a sale shopper. hugs, a Re: [ ] reunion sorry guys sent this one to the wrong place.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2001 Report Share Posted August 1, 2001 Hi Liz, Whipple is the removal of part of the pancretitis, small intestines, bile duct, and sometimes some of the stomach. Than resectioning everything back up together. I came about in the 1930 to help cancer victims with mostly pancreatic cancer. I have read that when it was first used many people died. But with modern medicine and technology the mortality rate is less than 1%. I have a stricture of the common bile duct. There are only two ways to fix this. The first is to put in stents to hold the duct open, unfortunely with this I would have to have ERCP'S every two months for the rest of my life. Every time I have and ERCP I go into a pancreatitic attack. If you have too many of these you will become a diabetic. I have come to believe that maybe I go into an attack because the medicine they use or the dye doesn't agree with me. That is just my thought though. If the bile duct would stay open this would not be needed. The other procedure is a whipple. It's real name is pancreaticoduodenectomy. I am told the best Dr. to do the surgery is Dr. to, who is going to do mine. People come to him from all around the world. Thanks to , and all her research I have been able to learn a lot about the surgery. ----------Lynn (MeMom) > From: elizabeth gray <lizzy@...> > > Subject: Re: [ ] reunion > Date: Wednesday, August 01, 2001 8:17 AM > > Lynn, > Can you explain the Whipple, What it is, and What it's for? > I hadn't heard of it until I joined?

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 I had some people here in florida about 5 or 6 years ago from one of the other CML groups. we had a great time meeting up with each other. I wouldn't mind hosting another reunion here, but am more than willing to go to another place in the country. I have never been to Vegas. I do love Portland, Or, and have been there every year since 2001.
