Thank you all so much for your kindness. I very much appreciate it. You are good people, willing to comfort others like me while feeling your own pain. I am truly touched. Thanks again and I’ll stop by, for both your wonderful emotional support and hopefully to provide mine for others going though this.
Good night and God bless.
Hi Marion,
It looks like they will wait until the end of July to replace the stent. The doctor said it should be good for three months or so and this will give them a chance to see how mom comes along.
Hi Isisman,
You and your husband are having a pretty rough time of it and I’m sorry to hear that. My mom is pretty easy to care for so far. She feels okay and has for the moment responded well to the plastic stent. She agreed pretty easily with putting the new metal one in. She can be a bit feisty at times, so we’ll see as the procedure approaches.
The doctor was reluctant to say how far along she is or how long she has. He said we’ll replace the stent with one good for a year or two and live life as it comes along.
Thanks again for everyone’s kind response.
Bruce
I would like to thank Marion, Lainy, Gavin and Jan for their kind replies.
In answer to the question, they just put the stent in last week but once the biopsy came back the doctor said it would be better to put the metal one in since it would last a year or so. The plastic stent is currently working, although mom is still showing jaundice in the eyes. I mean to ask the specialist about that tomorrow.
Thanks again for the kind welcome. I’ll probably be here regularly. Take care.
