I have never had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Lehman only heard his

reputation. I have received excellent care in all regard to my

condition at MUSC. I am continiuing to do so. I have worked at

MUSC for years and was a student prior to that, so I have always

been partial to MUSC. The docs I see are all ones that I had the

great pleasure to work with for years and to get to know. They are

great guys who are taking great care of me. I am very fortunate in

that regard.

I went to Cinci last march to be evauluated for the total with auto

islets. The doc there was not convined my pain was pancreatic. I

ended up staying in cinci for 6 days, not the 2 planned. But I had

a lot of time to play. And do the tests he wanted. He was still

not convinced. I had the beger procedure last april at musc and the

resection was sent to pathology. Those finding are indisputable.

My condition did seem to catch on rapidly and my health has gone

down hill equally as fast. I hated to loose my job so I know how

you feel. Where are you located? I do recall that one member went

to a hopital in land (I think) to have the tp/ict. Haven't

heard much back from her so no news is good news.

I hope you dont have to loose your job . Keep trying to find a

gi pancreatologist. The eus showed the exterior of your pancreas is

not showing any damage, that is actually good news. Now you need to

get a look at the inside. Before anything can be diagnosed it has

to be investigated thoroughly.

Hope this helps some, I'm really tired tonight and haven't tolerated

much by mouth. Tomorrow will be better.

Warmly,

Chrissy
