HI This was posted by a doctor internal medicing on netdoctor site

Is this for real???

Chronic pancreatitis is associated with a reduction in life

expectancy. Only half of the patients with a diagnosis of chronic

pancreatitis will survive for longer than seven years following

diagnosis. There is also an increased rate of cancer of the pancreas

in patients with chronic pancreatitis and this accounts for a fifth

of the deaths. Other causes of death include complications of

diabetes and complications of alcoholism.

thanks
