I wanted to share with you Brandans progress, although he did try to

attend school the first week of his senior year, unfortunately the " residual

pain " and fatigue he is still experiencing has hindered that progress. The

doctors where not sure here what could be causing this pain but after a

recent

ultrasound a new Dr. that has seen him has found that Brandans spleen is

enlarged

and might be causing this pain? He is scheduled for a CT yet again next week

to see if this is the cause.

Hi Peg, I am so sorry that Brandans school attendance was cut short due to

pain. Sue also had to have her spleen removed after the pancreatectomy. I had

my spleen removed when I had my pancreas removed so I don't have any pain. I

hope that Brandan will be pain free very soon. I am so sorry. I know you and

your whole family will take one day at a time and think only positively.

That's the only way to get through this disease. Please tell Brandan that all

will work out for him and he will be in school and living a normal life very

soon. I am so pleased that Brandan can eat all of the foods that he had to

avoid

for so many years. Please send me a picture of Brandan by PC or my address is

Shirley Ferguson, 1705 Nagel Road, Cincinnati, Ohio 45255 Hang in there all

of you. Love, Shirley PS It was great meeting you Peg at the symposium. I

feel that we have been friends forever.
