Re: & Ohters-Pancreatic Burnout/ Setting up a poll

[Guest guest]

Louie,

Thanks! In my theory, it is the physical shape of the pancreas. The

less you have, and its condition = the burn outstage timing. If you

have a full pancreas with slight damage, it is going to take much

much longer. I do believe! I also believe that much greater care of

the body has to be taken after this point. I wish I had all the means

to test everything, everyday. I have always believed it could happen,

There are others who believe the same way. I would not be far off

from saying it could be as much as 60% believe. Maybe someone could

set up a poll and we vote on this. With everyone voting, It would be

interesting to see the results, instead of my email count! Can

someone please set up the poll?

Give my best to Dr. Conwell.

Thanks,

> When I went to Cleveland Clinic this past Wed. I ask my Dr. Conwell

about pancreatic Burnout and he told me that he has been a pancreatic

doc since 94 at CC, and he has yet to see it exist. He told me that

he now even sure it does happen. This did make me feel a little

better, since my other doc told me it would happen in 5-10 years,

when I reach 10 years I was told it would take 10-15 yrs, now they

have revised it to 15-20 yrs. Why can't most docs be honest and say

that they are not sure it even exists. At least they would not be

giving me any more false hope. Before I even went to see Dr conwell,

I really did not believe that burn-out exist. So now I feel better

hearing it from a knowledgeable doc. I hope I haven't dampen

anyone's hopes, but this is just how I think.
