Office: Indps, IN, USA 1- Hey Karyn, My question to your statement above would be, exactly what would have been your intervention. I think you are saying you would have had the pancreatomy with islet cell auto-transfer. Could you tell me how they narrowed down the damage to your other organs. When Jackie has a CTscan they really don't " see " that much damage. The only time they really see some damage is during the ERCP. Is there a test you had done or something surgical. OR the damage was severe enough to " see " on some of the x-ray type tests they have? If you feel comfortable enough in answering my questions. I keep asking my husband, family, and close friends about the surgery and not one of these people will even give me an opinion. Just questions and comments that seem to make them sound more indecisive as I am. I can see it utimately lies all on me...which can be well...undescribable and I just can't think of a word for it, LOL. Irritating? Maybe that is the word. Anyways, Thank You for your support and help to this group. In my humble opinion, this is the best place on the internet. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
