Guest guest Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 Hello all! My name is Esther and I'm married to a chronic sufferer with pancreatitis for 20 years. In fact he just came home from the hospital monday after being told he has less than a 10th of the pancreas left. This was a shock to say the least. Plus he's diabetic (of course), and I'm trying to find non fat, non sugar recipes. Also you know the doctors never said anything when we asked what is going to happen when the pancreas is gone. The doctors said that it's calcifcation and scar tissue and has attached to the spinal cord. We don't know where to go from here. We were told by the doctors that surgery is out but they seem to not want to answer the hard questions we asked. What's going to happen now? I don't know, I'm really confused and feel helpless. I hope someone can give us some answers. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
