HELLO, MY NAME IS RANDI, I AM A FEMALE THAT IS STATIONED HERE IN GA. I AM FROM TEXAS, BUT I HAD MADE KY MY SECOND HOME. I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH TERMINAL DISEASE OF THE PANCREASE IN SEPT. OF 96. I WAS GIVEN TWO YEARS TO LIVE TWICE AND A YEAR EACH YEAR AFTER THAT.I LOST TWO KIDS DUE TO THIS ILLNESS, BECAUSE I HAD A SEVERE PANCREASE ATTACK THAT SENT ME INTO EARLY LABOR.MY SON\\\'S ARE BURRIED IN LOUISVILLE, KY.I WAS HAVING 4-5 ATTACKS A WEEK, BUT IN 2000 I WAS SENT TO INDIANA TO A TRANSPLANT DOCTOR THAT WAS THE ONLY DOCTOR THAT CAME UP WITH A PANCREAS TRANSPLANT PROCEDURE.HE TOLD ME THAT I HAD THE INSIDE ORGANS OF A 90 YR. OLD WOMAN, AND THAT MY BODY WOULD REJECT A TRANSPLANT.I HAVE A LOT OF FAITH IN GOD AND THAT IS WHAT KEPT ME HERE.THE TRANSPLANT DOCTOR BELIEVES IN GOD ALSO, AND HE STATED THAT HE WILL HELP ME TO LIVE. HE STATED THAT MY PANCREAS IS THE SMALLEST PANCREAS EVER.IT IS 2CM IN SIZE, AND THE NORMAL IS 5 INCHES.HE TRIED ME ON A TREATMENT THAT I GET 3 TIMES A DAY, IT IS AN INJECTION OF MEDICATION TO SHUT DOWN MY SMALL PANCREAS AND ANOTHER MEDICATION THAT I TAKE AFTER MY SHOTS, IT WORKS AS MY PANCREAS.THE SHOTS ARE GIVEN IN THE STOMACH WITH A 3CC SYRINGE AND A 1.5 INCH NEEDLE, BUT IT IS BETTER THAN THE PANCREAS ATTACKS.I HATE NEEDLES, AND SOME ONE TRAINED HAS TO GIVE THEM TO ME.IT HAS REDUCE THE ATTACK DOWN TO 1 EVERY 2-3 WEEKS.I AM ON 31 PILLS A DAY. MY PANCREAS CONDITION WAS , CAUSE BY A GALLBLADDER SURGERY AND MOTRIN 800MG .MOTRIN ATE MY PANCREAS DOWN TO 2CM IN SIZE.I HAVE A LOT OF FAITH IN GOD, I STILL DO WHAT THE DOCTORS TELL ME, BUT I KNOW THAT IT IS GOD HIMSELF THAT KEEPS ME ALIVE. WHEN THE DOCTORS SAY THAT I HAVE A YR TO LIVE, I TRUST GOD THE MORE AND KEEP MY SELF ACTIVE AND I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT I WILL DIE UNTIL GOD SAYS I WILL. I EVEN WORK AND DO WHEN I AM IN PAIN, THE ONLY TIME I DO NOT KEEP DOING IS WHEN THE PAIN IS VERY SEVERE.IF YOU NEED SOME ONE TO TALK TO E-MAIL ME AT RANDIA92@HOTMAIL.COM OR YOU CAN CALL ME AT 706-536-5762. I LOVE YOU AND GOD DOES TOO. RANDI
