Dear Tammy,

You have every right to answers, and to expect as much clarity

and prompt responses to your questions about your health. As

said, radiologists do make mistakes and you can get

two different opinions out of one film by two different interpreters.

My last MRCP failed to film the bottom portion of my pancreas,

because it isn't where they " expected " it to be, resulting in an

incorrect diagnosis of my only having one pseudocyst. Well, I

knew I had two, and I had 12 earlier CT-scans showing two, but

because of this radiologist's lack of thoroughness, suddenly I

only had one. This resulted in 6 weeks worth of delay reaching a

critical decision.

So, personally, I think you're doing the best thing by going ahead

and taking the bull by the horns and getting your appointment at

Duke for a second opinion. When I read that you had done so, I

was mentally saying " you GO girl! " We have to be our own

advocates in this business, Tammy, because there just aren't

any other people that know as much about ourselves as we do.

I'm so glad you've got your appointment with Pappas, he has a

well-known reputation and I know he's really helped others with

their CP problems.

Take your MRCP film, and also pick up a copy of your medical

records, too, if you don't already have them. I have copies of all

of mine which I update every quarter. It means that I can go see

anyone I want, whenever I want to, with current records. I'm

happy where I am, but knowing that I have this option makes me

feel a bit more secure.

We'll be anxious to hear how the appointment goes on Monday,

so let us know when you can.

With hope and prayers,

Heidi

Did you know you can also include employee records as part of

your review. Your personnel file might have a gold nugget in it to

help sway the judge.

Tammy,

I wish it were so, but I'm self employed with my own business,

called " Heidesign " . I am the owner, and sole employee. I

already " fired " myself some time ago...LOL! Whenever I've met

with my clients, or the builders whom I've done work for, I've

hidden my illness very successfully.

No one here, except for a handful of personal friends, my next

door neighbor, my doctor and my pharmacist, know that there is

anything wrong with me.(grin)

With hope and prayers,

Heidi
