I have been housebound a bit, having to eat and wait an hour before I go out and being very aware of where the bathrooms are. I don't like to eat much if I am away from home. I have surgery scheduled June 21st. At least I know that I need 72,000 Creon before meals and that has improved things substantially and my appetite is better. I am hoping this will remain the same after surgery, it took months to get the dose high enough, finally about 3-4 weeks ago with the help of the hepatobiliary dietician at MSKCC.
