But possibilities currently include everything up to, and including, replacing my stomach, duodenum, jejunum, ilium (small intestines, all 26 feet of it), liver, pancreas and all the blood vessels that join them all together. So just about anything is possible right now. Within the next month or two, I should hear what (if any) other tests they want to do, but my case will be discussed at a national level and they all have to agree what is best for me to have done. That could possibly take a few months, so I don't expect any quick news. I managed a very nice chat with a guy from their chronic pain team, and he had several new ideas for painkillers that the people in Southampton had never considered, which was very useful. Southampton's attitude seems to be that if a couple of Paracetomol (Tylenol) don't handle it, then they don't really know much about what to do :-) It's not quite as bad as that, but you get my drift :-) The Cambridge team at Addenbrookes actually appreciate the problem of your body becoming used to opiates and that you build up a tolerance to them, and had some ideas for new drugs which I have only rarely been exposed to before, such as Oramorph and Fentanyl.
