Hello,
My name is Brenda and I live in New Zealand. I have found this site due to my sister’s recent hospitalisation. She is 52 and has been told following abnormal liver function tests, jaundice, itchiness, abdo discomfort/pain, an USS, ERCP that they have found a ‘growth’ which they suspect is cancerous in her bile duct. They did place a stent to allow bile to flow through the duct. Last week she had a CT and this afternoon we are off to support her at an appt to see the surgeon to find out if the cancer has spread, and options for treatment etc. She has also been told that she will require an MRI and Endoscopic Ultrasound. I am hoping that they have made a mistake and ‘got it wrong’. I am reassured that there is support from you all on this site. Our family are pretty much in shock but i will be glad to find out more so we can figure out what to do and where to go from here.
