    Thanks for the support!

    Just got the call this morning, surgery moved up to Sept 15th!! Good not to wait longer, but scary at the same time.

    gvogle….I am thrilled to hear that your husband is feeling is well and that the surgery is on schedule. BTW I believe that your husband has extrahepatic disease. I will be thinking of you and am sending all my best wishes your way.

    That is great news! I said earlier today on a post that I don’t know of any other group of people so excited to hear they are going to have surgery! I am wishing you tons of luck and I know you will keep us posted! My best to you both.

    Well, found out once we got there that the pre-operative appt was just a routine taking of blood for labs and more medical history taking etc.

    So, good news is that he’s otherwise quite healthy and surgery is still a go. His liver enzymes are normal, bili-rubin at .7 so the external drain is doing it’s job.

    Path reports still negative.

    Don’t understand yet if he is intra-hepatic or extra-hepatic, the blockage is at the ‘confluence of the common bile-duct’.

    But, he’s feeling good, no other health issues to prevent the surgery so we wait for the surgery and what the path returns from that are.

    Wednesday I will be taking my husband for his pre-operative visit with his surgeon. I’m a little nervous that we will get there and find out that the MRI he just had yesterday shows something that prevents the surgery.

    But, I’m trying to be prepared for either surgery or not. We have no real information yet, other than the blockage is high on his bile duct, there may be a spot on his liver and his ca19-9 was 2500.

    So, I’m wondering what all we should be asking at this visit?
