Wife's CAT scan today

My wife, BJ, suffered pancreatitis attacks for over 25 years. Gastroenterologists said surgery was too dangerous until attacks became unbearable. The risk of dying in surgery was 30-50% at that time. Two years ago last August the tumor on pancreas had grown to 9.5 CM(softball size). Drs said we could wait no longer but only two hospitals in the South were recommended, Emory Univ and UAB at Birmingham. We chose Emory because our daughter lived 25 miles from there. The surgeon there told us his mortality rate was only 4-6%. He had just come down to Emory from Mayo Clinic to do the pancreatic surgery.(Whipple surgery). She came thru OK and had 12 day stay in hosp. They said to expect 2 year recovery period.
Last week she had another attack. She had a CAT scan this AM in Columbus Ga. Hope to get results in couple of days
Keep fingers crossed and keep her in your prayers.

I did not say it was your fault, I said I was going to blame you.

My wife is up for a scan next week too.
She's shunted for hydrocephlis - shunted
25 years ago and it looks like she's going
in again for a replacement. At the time she
had a 50:50 chance of survival. I hope it's
improved.
I recall the bad, bad feeling while waiting for
the results the last time.
The good news is that the modern medical
techniques are pretty unbelieveable now
days.
Prayers are with you.
why chase the game when the bullet can get em from here?....
