I had distalpancreatectomy

[Guest guest]

I'm 16 years old, and I'm going through a rough time. I'm to the

point that I want and need my pancreas taken out but im so scare

for: 1)I was told my surgery on my pancreas would be great after.

But he cut three inches of the five that I had. 2) I'm worried I

wont have enough Islet cells. 3)Im scared I'm gonna be a brittle

diabetic or something is going to go wrong. I guess in a way I'm

looking for answers but in a way I am just stuck and confused at

this point in what to do. I don't want to go on with this pain and

be alone. Its not as easy as all the doctors and physcatrists say it

is becasue there not the ones fighting this pain day in and day out.

This is something I have to live and learn by and I dont know if I'm

ready for the surgery or not. I guess I just need all the support I

can get at this point. If you have any advice please let me know.

Love Always,
