Hi Crystal,

Thanks for the information. I have a couple of more questions if you

don't mind. My son is 28. Is his age near yours. Did you have

previous surgeries on your pancreas? Do the doctors usually try other

things first so the TP is a last resort or is it reasonable to assume

someone as young as could have it done before he goes through

years of pain? I forgot - where did y ou have yours done? Do you

know if the doctors at Cincinnati have been doing this the longest? I

am so glad you are having a normal life again. It must seem like a

miracle. I feel that a miracle will have to help and it is

killing me watching him so ill and trying so hard to be an active dad

with his boys. Hope he gets to go for a consultation soon. His mono

has backed up everything. Take care and stay healthy.

I am 23 years old. The only previous things that I had done to my

pancreas were ERCPs and stents placed in the ducts. There is more

success reported by those who have not had previous surgery to the

pancreas. I think that going for a TP/ICT is the best choice for me,

and I am glad that I made it before it was too late. I had my surgery

in Minnesota by Dr. Sutherland. Dr. Sutherland has done the surgery

longer than the docs in Cinnci. He is the doctor who developed the

surgery.

Love,
