    Thanks everyone – I will definetly make an appointment with the surgeon in NC. Charlotte is only about an hour or so away from home. We are also looking into the Cancer Treatment Center of America. Anyone have an opinion on them?

    he had 2 biliary drain installed and today they removed 1 that was causing him a lot of pain and discomfort. He also as PSC so some of the blockages are caused by that. Are the biliary drains the same thing as a stent?

    We were told that they contacted MD Anderson and that they said there was nothing they could do to help him. Today his bilirubin was 28.6. He has 2 biliary drains installed. They are treating the infection with iv antibiotics (Zosyn?). What else can be done to lower the bilirubin?
