Tumor removal surgery to Staci

[Guest guest]

Dear Staci,

From the best of my recollection, Carole Watts had a tumor

removed from the tail of her pancreas. She was a member

when I first joined two years ago, and although I believe she's

still a member, she never posts anymore. I don't know what

extent her surgery was. You might look up her email address in

the member's file and send off an inquiry to her.

Your procedure is quite extensive and I can understand your fear

and apprehension. Any surgery is scary!!! I can understand why

you would want to talk to as many people you can to find out how

this surgery affected them. I hope that anyone else that's had

anything like this done will come forth and talk about it.

Just remember that you're in our thoughts and prayers as you

approach this upcoming surgery.

With hope and prayers,

Heidi

>>Is there anyone out there who has anything positive to say

about pancreatic surgery to remove mucus producing tumors -

Basically the head and neck of the pancreas need to be

removed.

Hi Staci, Heidi, all,

I did a search of the message board archives for " tumor " , and found a

message from Carole that she posted last October. It summarizes her

experience, and offers anyone who wishes more information to get in

contact with her directly. You can read this message by clicking on

Hope this helps.
