    Stacey…..from what we have seen, on this board, too often infections become problematic. The absolute terrific new is that your Dad is responding favorably to the antibiotics. And, may it continue. Leaving the hospital for his home settings will help him much. Oh, the up’s and down’s of the Cholangiocarcinoma roller coaster ride!
    All my best wishes,
    Marion

    Procedure cancelled. This hospital stay has been “wait five minutes, something will change”. They decided the ERCP is just too risky and the antibiotics seem to have gotten rid of the blockage. They were unsure they were going to be able to get a stent in, so I guess it is better this way. They did warn us, as all of us know, that we may be back next week for the same problem, but we will take this today. They are putting in a PICC line and tomorrow he will go home on IV antibiotics for the forseeable future. Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts. They mean so much!

    The much dreaded “stent ERCP” is being performed tomorrow. We had to sign off on anything they will need to do. Nine hours ago, they told us an ERCP was to risky, as with a 90% colon resection, 40% pancreas and 60% liver resection, my dad’s placement of organs is one in six billion. They plan to try their damndest to make it work.

    Hi Stacey,

    Thanks for letting us know how your dad is doing right now. I’m sorry to hear that your dad is having these complications right now and I am hoping that his doctors can get on top of this and sort this out asap. And please know that we are all here for you and know what you are going through right now.

    My best wishes to you and your dad,

    Gavin
