good news – mum’s back home today, fever was gone the same day she started antibiotics, and old stent still works-her bilirubin level keeps going down,so there was no need to change it-we’re happy.she got also new medicine,something that makes bile more thin. only her blood sugar still runs wild, I think it’s because of inflamation but I’m sure it will be better soon.
I hope for the best and pray for all of us!Well, thank You all for so quick, wellcoming and comforting answers!
Maybe I was not clear enough first time, CT scan did show some mass round bile ducts just where they connect forming letter “Y”, and that is why the first doctor diagnosed Klatskin and he sticks wit his diagnose. But the surgeon clearly explained to me that he did not see (or felt) any tumor there no matter how small, but that her liver as well as her bile ducts are tense and hard, that her gall bladder was white and looked like it will explode so he took it out,and that it all indicates existance of tumor.After getting good biopsy results, he said that it’s possible that she had some kind of cronic inflamation, but he is not sure.
She is 64 now,she has lost 23kg (round 50 pounds!),still getting no weight back, well, I keep her on a diet – and she also got diabetes.
I know there coul be many other reasons for her condition (sclerosing cholangitis?), I try my best with food and alternative program, but I really think I’ll ask for THIRD oppinion.
Thanks again!
