@tbingheim, I am a transplant recipient (not pancreas) and I would urge you to follow up with your doctor for a referral to the pancreas transplant specialist. You would be able to learn about the process and what to expect in your situation.
At my 1st appointment with my transplant center. I learned enough information about my condition and the transplant process that I knew that I wanted to proceed forward to schedule my evaluation so I could be placed on the organ transplant waiting list.

What is holding you back, or causing you to hesitate?
