Hi all, hope I find everyone well. My brother has just been diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis, and as I'm new to all this I was looking for a little help on his prognosis. Basically he was initially diagnosed with acute pancreatitis, but they found that some of his pancreas had "died" so this diagnosis was changed to chronic pancreatitis. He has therefore stopped drinkng completely (the cause was alcohol). He is 28 years old. He suffered bouts of pain after drinking previously, but now has no pain and has not had any for months (ie is not constantly or regularly in pain). Based on this latesgt info can someone give me a rognosis of his case? I know it differs from person to person, but it is hard to find out really where he stands from reading the web only, most of which is retty scary to read. Any help is appreciated.

Jack
