suggestions for a neighbor?

[Guest guest]

Folks,

I have a neighbor who has just been diagnosed with Pancreatitis this week.

She has been ill for about 3 years and has gone through the typical routine

of cancer screenings, IBS tests, ulcers...... I don't know why they finally

broke down and decided to do Amylase and Lipase tests.....(duh)

Anywhoooooooo - what do yall suggest I take to her to give her an initial

" introduction " to what she needs to know about? She is willing to do a

little self-study, but is lost in the myriad of medical crap they have buried

her in for the past 3 years. I don't want to inundate her with a LOT of

info....but I think a few crucial informational pieces might help her to

understand she is not alone.

BTW, I have known her my entire life....She is 44 years old and was never

sick before 3 years ago other than typical colds, etc. So that is now 4 of

us in the area of a city block here. Must be in the water, ya think?
