I went to Dr.Lyons today.I am pretty hopeful. The blood work came back with elevated enzymes, the brushings came back atypical and one test still wasn`t in. I go to Dr.Kameron tomorrow. I will have to go to Methodist in Dallas to have the internal sonogram and needle biopsy. They are going to do the whipple procedure in a week or so. They are going to treat it aggressively so I can be one of the surviors. I feel really good about it. I think it was good news today. They didn`t see any mass on my cat scan so it may be really small. I did ask about chemo or radiation yet, I can wait to know at this point. I am not looking forward to the surgery at all. It`s a really big surgery. They will take the head of my pancreas, part of my small intestines, part of my stomache and resect my intestine to my bile duct. At least thats what I understand. John Hopkins has a good web site explaining it all.
