In the Houston Chronicle it said that he was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer in January.
Very sad... very very sad news.

I haven't gotten around to reading that yet, but given that he was in North Carolina in December, I assumed it was cancer. Unfortunately, cancer takes so many great people from us way too early. It seemed from reading his "GUEST BOOK" that he had spent quite a bit of time in the hospital lately, not as the Doctor we know, but as a patient. Truly, sad, sad news, I am having a difficult time with this one. GAYLE mom of Brandon
PS on a lighter note, when I told my older children of Dr. Shenaq's passing, they looked at me with this horrible look. They said, "MOM, he was an awesome guy, I remember when you took Brandon to the Dr., he was the one with the coat full of "DUM-DUMS" (lollipops). Remember how he would always give us ours in our left hand and Brandon's in his right (HE IS ROBPI)." I just shook my head. He has touched so many lives !!!

I feel a great deal of sadness over his passing. I just can't believe he died at such a young age. Dr. Shenaq did Tyler's surgery 2 years ago, and we have regularly followed up with him since then. He will be greatly missed.

How sad for his family I want to extend my deep sympathy to them.
He is a big loss to the BPI Community
I only met him a few times the last time was at the Narakas meeting in Italy, he was very gracious.

Oh my gosh, so many doctors at the brachial plexus clinic that have died so young.
Dr. Shenaq did one of Colleen's surgeries. I'm so sorry to hear this.

I am very sad to that a great man has pasted. He saved my life mentally and physically by giving the use of my right arm back to me which was caused by a motorcycle accident. I was told by so many doctors that i could not be helped, but Dr. Shenaq without out a doubt said he would fix me and he did. He will be greatly missed...
