Had my appointment with my gastroentoligist yesterday for my endoscopic ultrasound and biopsies results. So I have abnormal cells in my pancreas and they are still not sure if they are cancer or pre cancerous but they are going to operate and take it out. They are going to take just that section of my pancreas and my spleen also. I'm also having open heart surgery in august to repair my mitral valve prolapse and severe regurgitation. My gastroentoligist Dr Dowsett says both Surgeons will discuss and decide which surgery first. Both are at Royal North Shore Hospital my pancreas Doctor is Dr Jas Sumra and my heart surgeon is Dr Manu Mathur . I'm overwhelmed as it's a lot. 6 months ago I thought I was healthy. I'm a 61 year old female . Just getting my head around the possibility that I now have pancreatic cancer along with a damaged heart as it is enlarged. 🙏🏿

So yesterday I had my visit with my heart surgeon. I have mitral valve prolapse and severe regurgitation. Because my heart is enlarged, I will be having surgery in 3 /4 months . My surgeon, Dr Manu Mathur at Royal North Shore Private Hospital, seems very confident he can do a valve repair (he says 95%) and prefers this to a replacement. Hospital forms are filled out, and here we go. I am very overwhelmed and hardly slept last night . Worrying for my little dog Fletch who has mitral valve disease and needs constant care and medication. 6 weeks minimum off work , 7 days in hospital 2 in ICU , 4 weeks I can't drive. But I will be better in the aftermath. I'm pretty anxious and just trying to get my head around It all. ❤️🙏🏿

Just wanted to hear from anyone who has had surgery at North Shore Private Hospital Sydney . I have been referred to Dr Manu Mathur for appointment on 26th may. I don't have private health insurance. I'm feeling anxious. How long will I be in hospital.

I've just started season 6 . I have found it boring and am pushing thru . Tell me it gets better 🙏🏿
