Anonymous question submitted:
Hi had pancreatic cancer 25 yrs ago had half stomach, duedenom, gall bladder, part pancreas and part bowel removed and given 4yrs to live. After spending years in and out of hospital I had 8hr operation 'cos there were stones in what was left of pancreas, this and my spleen were removed. I have naturally become type 1 diabetic and since the op 3yrs ago I have had so many problems re high sugar, low sugar etc. I have been told I am unique BUT nothing seems to settle down. Is there anyone out there who has had similar surgery? I am now 67 but still want to be involved with the grandchildren and family. At the moment all I want to do is sleep and can stay in bed all day! I hate it as I was always a busy person - even when recovering from the cancer. Help!!
