So glad you went through it and everything is fine. Enjoy your meal, get some rest and know that we are always thrilled to hear from you.
Hugs,
MarionYEA! Now don’t try to fix anything in the hospital and for heaven’s sake stay off the roof! I hope you feel better quickly!
Procedure done. A little sore at the entry point where it goes through the abs. I’m sure it will be more sore as the night goes on. There’s a drain bag attached for now, eventually they will cap it and make everything drain to inside. I think in 2-3 days I go back under for the angioplasty part, then I can go home for a few weeks. All good so far! And, I got to eat!!
Derin, good luck with the procedure. Many blessings and prayers that things continue to go so well!
PorterGood luck with the procedure Derin. My thoughts will be with you. Hope to hear from, you soon with the good news that all went well.
Love & Hugs,
DarlaGood luck, Derin. I would love to catch a flight and rush to room 1631B and lend my support. Given the circumstances however; please accept my cyber presence.
Awaiting to hear from you real soon.
Hugs,
MarionWell, I’m in NY, it was 20 yesterday, 32 today, and I’m supposed to be getting this procedure done in a half hour or so but no one has come to grab me. In Sloan Kettering in NY room 1631B if anyone is in the neighborhood!! Will post some more when I get out!
Derin,
I saw a great picture of you, Rose and Cathy. What a wonderful group.
Good luck with your procedure.
LisaHi Derin,
I have lots of scar tissue from previous surgeries. Mine have been treated with drains into external bags. I am post surgical resection 5 years with no recurrence.betsy
Hi Derin,
Yes I’ve heard of this procedure too and I hope that it goes smoothly for you and that you’ll be back to work etc after a few weeks. Just to confirm though, you ate, ate, ate, ate and ate some more on your trip to New Orleans. Sounds like a great trip to me!!!
Hope all goes well with the balloon.
Best wishes,
Gavin
Yes, the bile duct is narrow… but not mine since they used my small intestine to make a new one!! I think the s=arring and narrowing is at the connection point of the new bile duct to the liver so that is where they will ‘balloon’ things…
Derin….mostly good news it is. I have learned that any surgery can cause scar tissue. It is part of the normal healing process in the body.
The bile duct is a thin tube hence, it does not take much tissue growth to cause blockage.
The search function will lead you to numerous discussion on the issue of scar tissue – thought to enclose this one.
http://www.cholangiocarcinoma.org/punbb/viewtopic.php?pid=33775#p33775I am pretty sure that others will have information to share with you as well.
Thinking of you and sending tons of good wishes your way,
Hugs,
Marion
