Guest guest Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Hi , Thanks for your good wishes! Ron is looking forward to his procedure, as he has spoken to another man who had it done 4 weeks ago, and he said it " exceeded his expectations " so Ron is good to go. He said he will miss playing out the golf season, but hopes to be back in good form next season. The doctor in California is Dr. Herbst, an endocrinologist who is working on a grant to study Dercum's. My last tumor was sent to her, and she said that where normal fat will just dissolve, mine is growing! Bloodwork is also abnormal in fatty acids. Yuk, makes me feel like part of a sci-fi movie (a bad one!) But she has already made some headway into discovering some anomalies of this disease, and while maybe not on the brink of a cure, at least finding out maybe what it IS and is NOT, and hopefully educating the medical field about it so that doctors don't think we are nuts. All the best to you, Judi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
