Thanks Heidi!

[Guest guest]

Hello Heidi,

Thanks for the encouraging words. I was aware that you had had the

ketoaciditis episode because you refer back to it from time to time

but I don't thin I knew until this evening quite how it had affected

you.

I'm sorry about your pseudocyst. I know they haven't suggested

surgery for it. They mostly resolve themselves, don't they, which is

why you must be so disappointed that yours hasn't yet done so.

Hopefully, it will still happen before too long.

You're absolutely right! There is little point in worrying. Things

will take their natural course and worry can only make a situation

worse. Good research and info is one thing...but worry is another

and NOT a good thing! I'm doing my little best in that respect! I'll

be having the C19.9 test as well as the EUS. I had my last CT scan

in March. The Prof said the EUS was most useful when there were

comparisons to make between tests. I haven't had an EUS before and I

stupidly forgot to ask if you could compare EUS results with CT scan

results. I'll ask my own Prof when I next see him. Sadly, he goes on

holiday for the month of August so I'll have to wait a bit as i'm

away myself for a week in July.

I'm currently back into researching TP surgery; there are so many

differnt ways the operation can be carried out.

As I said somewhere else...when the time comes I may have to choose

a TP instead of the world cruise as a retirement treat! Good job I'm

not that keen on boats but love theatres!!!!

If only human beings had a crystal ball that they could use even

once in their lives!!!

Thanks for your tremendous spirit and kindness, not to mention the

information you give; they all keep me going at the hard times! Hope

your pain meds regime is still effective and all those family plans

going well. I'll be seeing my sons twice this week, first in London

on Tuesday when I'm there for a conference and then at the weekend

at my younger son's PhD graduation in Cambridge. Can't be

bad.....unless that panc flares up!

Take care Heidi and thank you again.
