And I thank you again. This spring my father will decide if it’s time to prophylactically remove his pancreas. Whether he chooses that this is the right time or not, the study he’s participating in means his pancreas is examined routinely. That study is funded by the Lustgarten Foundation, and it will hopefully lead to better screening for people whose families are tormented by the disease like mine is, and for the vast majority of sufferers who just get pancreatic cancer at random.

I doubt they would have considered it had she not had such regular screenings, and therefore a lot of information about what the normal state of her pancreas was before it started to change. Living as an insulin-dependent diabetic is no small change!<br><br>Yes, it was wonderful to be there. :) It's certainly not a preferred surgery.

Interesting. Looks like the walk was a huge success and how wonderful it must have felt to be part of it. I didn't realize they did prophylactic removal. Interesting.

You put it so well "The answer itself is easy; it’s just not easy to say." Hopefully with research it will change. So glad it was such a success.
