Hi Jean!!!

How are you doing? I finally got to read all my e-mails & I love the

stuff you send to me. My friend let me use her computer, but she is

always so busy my time was very limited.

I'm glad he's going home, but I wonder if he had to deal with it long

enough to understand what we go through. I'm doing a lot of research

with another friend here in NM, & she's a fountain of info. (She even

found me a link to the " light haired, light eyed Indian tribe I just

found out I'm part of. Unfourtunately, they were a peaceful people &

have no treatise with the US, so no benefits for me.) We're helping

each other with the things we find out. I want to get some of the

stuff I've found put in our links section. I asked Karyn, but I

don't think she got the e-mail b/c she didn't answer, & I've never

known her not to answer one of my e-mails. I hope she's ok. I think

I'll ask Mark.

How is your daughter feeling? My CP was also diagnosed at the same

time I had gall bladder disease & 2 duodenal ulcers. I hate the

stigma that occasional drinking causes pancreatitis. In order to get

AP from alcohol, you have to be a serious alcoholic, like drinking

substantial amount every day. However, if you alredy have CP, & it's

mild enough that it goes undiagnosed, drinking will aggravate it.

it. Chemo is one of hte big causes & you hardly ever hear abaout

that one. Usually that alcohol is the one you hear about so people

assume that's awlways the cause,
