Can you live without a pancreas?

GrGranny I'm so sorry for your loss

Thank you all for your concern. We returned from the funeral last night. I recently learned he had hemochromotosis. If he had been diagnosed more than five years ago, it could have been stabilized. It became toxic to his body. It was so sad. He had been so active. He was a coach and in high school he was Nebr. state wrestling champion twice. His last employment was at Bullhead City, AZ. At least his mother didn't have to go through the pain of losing him as she is the one we lost 3 years ago from smoking.
