Guest guest Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 thank you so much for clarifying the pancreas - islet cell procedure. I thought they removed the bad pancreas and then replaced it with a donor along with autologous cells. Now, this is more understandable. If the pancreas is removed, do you just stay on the enzymes? I guess I need research the procedures. I have so much going through my mind with this and his kidney and now platelet problems, I can't remember what I read. I am not happy with the response time from his PCP and the gastric doctor says the urologist and PCP have to figure out why his platelets are dropping. Hope to hear some more tomorrow, but I will share your information with Chris. We live in Michigan and he is being treated at University of Michigan hospitals currently, but has not improved since August and its time!!!! Prayers for you and thank you again.
