Hello Chrissy,

How I wish I could visit you in the hospital in Cinci. I hate to

think of you being there on your own. Is there any chance of any

member of the family or friends visiting? I think Kimber's idea of

sending cards is lovely. Please let us know the details when you get

them. Even here in the small UK I know it is hard for patients who

come to the Liverpool Royal for panc treatment if their families

live elsewhere.

They DO do the cancer marker tests here, Chrissy. They do them

automatically, apparently (I just didn't realise it had already been

done!!, but both my specialists told me they are not 100% accurate

by any means. Sadly. My test was negative before Christmas. I have

had CT scans but not MRCP. I know that Prof has written extensively

on testing for panc cancer and is researching potential new methods

so I'm sure that everything that can be done is being done. ERCPs

can help (not 100% accurate either) but this has to be balanced

against the probs we know ERCPs can cause. The fourth test is the

EUS which Prof hasn't yet ordered for me. (The other three are CT

scan, blood marker and ERCP).

Yes, I will wait until I know for sure about the TP. For the moment

I am still managing in spite of some bad days.

I am so sorry your pain is worse. I can only hope the time will pass

quickly between now and when you lose your pancreas. If you've read

Shirley's posts you must feel hopeful. Crystal is also doing so

well. Hang on to these thoughts, Chrissy.

Take care and try to remember that we are thinking about you. If

ever I could, I would phone you in hospital once you are recovering

enough to feel like a few words!

With love,

Fliss
