Jane,
is your sister taking anything to aid her intestine in digesting food? I assume, you have talked to her physician about this problem.
MarionsSue,

MarionsLaura,
welcome to the site. You you might want to use the “search” function on top of the page while entering “Diabetes”. It might answer some of your questions until others have a chance to respond to you.

MarionsLana,
Our surgeon although, hesitant due to the metal stent still went ahead with the resection. We were lucky as the stent had been placed 4 weeks prior to the surgery and the tumor had not yet invaved the stent. According to this surgeon removal of a metal stent is rarely possible and very time consuming as every little piece of metal will have to be retrieved.
MarionsAs far as I have learned so far, stem cell research is moving forward in many directions. In fact, it has now been established that stem cells can be retrieved from skin tissue. This is revolutionary and could show to be promising in many aspects in re: to the treatment of numerous ailments and organ replacements. Something exciting and promising to follow within the years to come.
MarionsDear bobojie,
I am following Lana in welcoming you to the site.I would encourage you to collect all medical records, physician diagnoses, scans, blood test results, etc. You will want to make sure that all of this information is handed to those physicians involved with your husband
Thanks Peter,
it was very interesting and highly informative and yes, not for the light at heart. So glad to have had the opportunity to observe a whipple procedure.Marions
Candee,
This is what I have learned: Plastic stents will have to be replaced as frequently as every three months and as it was in our case, the replacement was always necessitated due to a bilary infection.
The metal stent is larger in diameter and therefore allows for a greater bilary flow however, if a resection is contemplated for the patient in the future, a metal stent could present itself to be a problem as it cannot be removed from the patientCharlene,
sadly, us caretakers, at times have to resort to extreme measures in advocating for the care of our loved ones. You had great results.
Wishing for the best
