Thank You,

Dear Keri, you have made my day. I have been so concerned about you when I

wrote to you at your home and didn't receive a reply. Peg was also very

concerned. She is in Fla. now with her family but when she arrives back home

she

will receive a wonderful surprise when she reads that you are well.

I am so happy. I am so thrilled. Isn't it wonderful the miracle that we

have been given? Dr. Sutherland is an Angel. I am going to forward your mail

to

Sue Rebello and Gail and of course Peg.

Now you are an Angel also. Welcome to the club. There are so many people

who suffer the way we suffered and they need our help.

When I had my surgery I felt reborn. I felt as though I was floating on air.

It was unbelievable to be sick for so many years and then to be well and

have no pain. I was euphoric.

Thanks for letting us know that you are well. It means so much to us. I am

so happy for your children and your husband.

Please keep in touch. Love, Shirley

Long overdue

Hello Dear Friends,

I owe you all a sincere apology. It has been many moons since you all

heard from me. I am so happy and amazed to be reporting that I am

cured of the intractable pain that plagued my life for so many many

years. I have only God above to thank for working miracles through

all of you and through Dr. Sutherland and many other angels posing as

mere mortals!! I haven't felt this good in ten years. I don't hurt

at all!! Praise Him! I am Diabetic and on insulin, but that is a

blessing compared to what I was going through. I am feeling better

than I even hoped or prayed for! I am enjoying my children like I

didn't even know was possible. I have energy!!!!! I clean my house

and cook meals. I no longer have boundaries and set limits to what I

can do. I again say I owe you all an apology for not writing for so

long, I have just been making up for the last 10 years. I am getting

to know my husband and kids, and them me. I can not begin to express

my thanks to all of you who offered support, advice and information;

and of course , without whom I wouldn't have found hope. It was

that hope that gave me the strength to pray and reach out and look

for answers again instead of wallowing in hopelessness. I love you

all more than I can say. Thanks to all of you who called while I was

in Minneapolis, and at home. It is amazing how selflessly you all

extend yourself. And thanks to a special friend who sent me a teddy

bear to help me not hurt so much when I coughed, or when I was

lonely. I know I am beginning to drone on. I just can't put into

words what it feels like to be given a chance to live after six years

of being sure that I was " as good as it gets " .

I apologize for not writing to all of you on an individual basis,

there are so many of you I feel so close to; but guess what? I am

busy being a mommy again!! and I really am loving life again!!

I would love to hear from any of you who will pardon my absence and

talk to me again!!

I Love You

Thank You,

Keri Beck

Keri,

that is so good to hear that you are doing so well. I'm so glad that you

are able to do all the things that you were missing out on dealing with

pancreatitis. Thank you for writing and letting us know how well you are

doing. It gives hope to those who are contemplating having the pancreas

removed and the islet cells transplanted or just having the pancreas

removed. It proves that for some, the pain really does go away.
