I really have come to love hearing your candid thoughts - you are real...as real as it gets. You've made a difference to so many people - I pray that more angels step onto this path with you to bring you through those ups and downs. And I love it that you know you can't sugarcoat the truth.<BR/>More blessings and love, <BR/>Aunt Colleenaunt colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03305184008831509855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5659412557917553417.post-61834005312575981552008-09-04T14:34:00.000-04:002008-09-04T14:34:00.000-04:00steph I LIKE BECCA s sources.

I am sure you definitely do understand both the pro's and the nasty nitty gritty con's in your situation. <BR/><BR/>good luck with take down. i think i'll be having my surgery very soon, maybe even around that time, who knows. we can send each other kindred healing vibes across the midwest. <BR/><BR/>on a sidenote, i know some very good colorectal peeps in evansville indiana. not that you need second opinions. <BR/><BR/>but i did have an "ampulectomy" last september, to remove a big fatty pre-cancerous polyp in my duodenum with the scope, instead of a whipple. <BR/><BR/>i got it done by a Dr. Parsons, who is THE man around here when it comes to that particular procedure which is in fact a much trickier procedure and hence why most GI's dont do it. There's more risk with it, but comparatively speaking, it was a cakewalk. he is out of northwestern and northwest memorial here in chicago. holla if you wanna take a little vacay to the windy city and also get a second opinion. <BR/>(and dr. parsons first name is Willis, so you get endless hours of jokes about "what you talkin' bout willis" when he tells you what he's gonna do in the procedure.)Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00068323045390841989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5659412557917553417.post-46404374622616060622008-09-02T13:55:00.000-04:002008-09-02T13:55:00.000-04:00A great outlook Steph!

Remember it's ok to flounder back and forth on if this is a good thing or not. In the end you know you are doing what is best for you and your future. Along the way you're becoming a role model for others.Shanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13851172169531025185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5659412557917553417.post-859453386671340612008-09-02T11:49:00.000-04:002008-09-02T11:49:00.000-04:00I admire your positive attitude Steph.
