I hope it all works out for you & all involved. I'm in the process of getting tests because of a high PSA test, but I feel more for other people than me. My youngest just spent the weekend in the hospital and is coming home today for her allergies & breathing difficulty. Take care Pete; I'm pulling for you.

So for the last week, the wife has been complaining about symptoms ranging from nausea to abdominal pain. Now she is turning noticeably yellow. Classic symptoms of a blocked bile duct, gallstones, or liver issues.

She went to the doctor had blood taken and her bilirubin is 9. A year ago, it was 1. They are having her go to a gastro doctor tomorrow. It is not gall stones, because the gallbladder has been removed.

Her father died from liver cancer

UPDATE 1...Off for a CT scan at noon today. Thanks for the thoughts

Update 2... CT scan reveals a 12mm mass of some sort in the bile duct. That will be out today and no doubt biopsied.

Update 3. She is in the hospital for tonight. Surgery tomorrow. They say it is a stone in her duct. I hope so. Prayers are working. Thanks

Update 4 9/15... After an MRI yesterday, that failed to be conclusive for a stone she is having a procedure today to bypass the occluded duct. Then another procedure in 2 weeks to put a stent into the occluded duct and look for any further possible conditions that may have caused this. They think that this may be a result from her gastric bypass years ago. All bloodwork is great

Update 5. She is home, and returning to normal color. She has to go back for a second procedure 3 weeks from tomorrow. Thank you for all the well wishes

Things are getting back to normal
