I'm sorry
I'm sorry to hear the bad news,I know you have alot to think about.I would do the surgery,and risk diabetes.I have type 2 diabetes,and right now all I have to do is lose weight,and watch my diet.If I don't lose weight,then I have to take the medicine.My father was diabetic and he just had to take a pill.Now a days it comes in pill form.But I think it's up to the dr.Also I would get a second opinion.Personally I would rather have diabetes than cancer.I will pray for you.

It's important to be able to feel safe and know that we are all here to support you.

God Bless You,

If the surgery results in
If the surgery results in diabetes it will be the shot dependent
kind because the pancreas will no longer be able to produce insulin,
so it cannot be controled by diet and exercise.

Kate
This is just such disturbing news. I know that you have to feel overwhelmed by all the decisions that lie before you. Take a deep breath, think back on the strength that you have found within yourself to get you this far. Focus on the enemy, assemble your forces (that includes us) and wage war again, you can do it. You are in the hearts of many tonight.
Hugs and prayers coming your way,

Diabetes
Yours is a hard story to read. I have type 2 diabetes and had it for several years before my colon cancer was dxed. Other than taking my meds for it, I have not had any interaction problems with both diseases. I pray for you in your situation. I take comfort and get strength from Is 40:31. Read it if you're unfamiliar with it.

insulin devices
I am a type I diabetic on 4X daily shots of insulin (1 slow-acting, fast-acting shots with meals). I have never had a hard time with needles, so I inject the insulin myself. You shouldn't worry too much about the needle aspect of treating diabetes, as there are an increasing number of ways of delivering insulin therapeutically. These include an insulin pump, in which a catheter is inserted only once every few days, insulin inhalers (like asthma inhalers) and insulin sprays, which deliver insulin through the skin with a high pressure spray.

If you are concerned, take a look at:
www.diabetesmonitor.com/alternative_insulin_devices.htm

I'm truly sorry about your situation, but diabetes is not hard to live with, so don't let it influence your treatment options.

Best wishes,
Jeremy

Hi Kate,

I'm so sorry to hear all the difficulty you're having. I actually read your post yesterday, but got so sad reading it that I couldn't even reply- sorry.
I just wish I could wrap my arms around you and hug all your problems and sadness away! I don't know what else to say except that I'm praying for you and PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP HOPE! I hope that you're feeling a bit better today.

Hugs,
Lisa

Thanks everyone for your
Thanks everyone for your encouragement.
I do feel better today,
had myself a good cry last night and put it out of my mind until next week
when I see my onc.One day at a time!
Surprisingly enough,even though my friends are cool with
the bald head ,their kids are AMAZING!! This morning I was wearing a knit hat at my friends house and my friends kids asked if it made my head hot,I said yes a little,
and they all said 'WELL TAKE IT OFF!! and the rest of the day they paid no mind to it at all.
It really helped my confidence and made me so much more comfortable with the bald thing.

I don't know what I would without you guys!!!!
:-}
