Guest guest Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Hello everyone, I saw the surgeon yesterday and he said I could not wait 30 days to have my surgery that he wanted it done in the next 5 days. He said he doesn't want to do a whipple yet because I am so young. He is going to do a Thorascopic splancic nerve division. He said he hopes that it will work for a few years so I can put off the resection until I'm 40. He doesn't do the ICT but said if it came to having to have the resection he would refer me to Cinncinati. But any way has any one had this procedure that I am having. There was a pt. at the office having a follow-up. She had the Whipple on April 16,2005 and he asked her if it was alright if I could come in and talk to her about the procedure. She had the nerve block surgery and it only worked for a month and she ended up having the Whipple but said she was pain free now. I was suprised that this doctor got me in so quick. He had a meeting that afternoon and had his secretary cancel it and moved some other surgeries down just so I could have mine. I didn't sleep at all last night still real nervous. Any advice would be appreciative. Sincerly, Patty Duley, Office Coordinator L. Doering, MD Louisville Oncology 3991 Dutchmans Lane, Suite 405 Louisville, KY 40207 (502)899-3366 ext. 142 .jensen@...
