Re:Finally Help

[Guest guest]

I have been fighting cp for so long. I had been to Hopkins and they

couldn't help ime. I found an excellent Dr. in Philadelphia who has finally

made me get well. He works out of Fox Chase Cancer Center, but he will take

people with cp that do not have cancer. He worked a miracle on me. He saved

me from losing my pancreas completely. I have 4 stents that go from the tip

of the dorsal pancreatic duct to the opening of the duct. Then he cut the

opening and sewed it open. After the procedure I was in the hospital for

about 5 days.I had very little pain after the surgery and I am now coming off

of all the pain killers I was on.. I am so happy. I have been sick for so

long and by hook or by crook I found this Dr. who knows so much about the

pancreas. I can only look at him with total admiration. He has brought me

back to the world of the living. I am just so glad to be alive, instead of

wondering is this the time that my pancreas goes and I will never see my

children grow up. Since I have found this Dr. I know I have soooooooooo much

living to do. I am going to catch up on all that I have lost. I send my

prayers out to all of you that you find someone as wonderful and as

qualified . Paget

Paget,

It is so uplifting to hear this wonderful news! We hear so much

of the struggles and bad moments with this disease, that it is

always so exciting to hear about the positive experiences

someone has.

Please share the name of this compassionate and well qualified

doctor who has literally turned your life around. We need to have

his name on our doctor's referral list, for there may be others in

that area that could use his help.

Is there a particular name for the procedure that he did for you?

Will these stents be permanent or will further surgery be

necessary? It's so good to hear the happiness in your

message, it just makes me feel warm all over to know that you

are doing so well.

Thank you for sharing your joy with us. It brings a smile to my

heart and reinforces the belief that if one perseveres, and has a

doctor dedicated to his practice of healing, that there is hope.

With hope and prayers,

I have never seen you so happy. You do sound like you are truly feeling free

of pain, hopeful, and ready to resume the world of the living.

Congratulations. You definitely had an angel with you. You were in the right

place, at the right time. Thanks for sharing your joy. It gives up hope.
