I am out of the hospital now. I was getting very sick, and went in last Saturday. They did some tests and found that the bilirubin level was extremely high. The cancer is blocking the biliary duct at the bifurcation of the biliary tree.

On Wednesday I had an ERCP and a stent put in, which seems to be offering some relief from the jaundice and pain. We’re praying that the stent does not become obstructed before it is due to be taken out and replaced in January.

My oncologist has been very supportive, as has my new GI doc.

So anyway, I am home and resting. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers!
