Guest guest Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 It is my understanding that 50% of people that have their pancreas removed continue to have pain. That is why I will not have the surgery( plus with my anatomy it is a no win situation) I guess I was lucky to have a surgeon who was frank with me, and told me the truth. His suggestion is to continue with chronic pain management with or without the surgery. I am going to have an intrathecal cath placed some time this week they are yet to call with the appointment time. lisa atwell lpn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
