Hi Lainy,

Thank you so much for your reply.
When we saw the surgeon last Thursday, dad still had no stent placed. When we asked him what he could eat until the stent was placed, he said ” everything”.
But I am not sure that is the case, as Everywhere I read about jaundice and biliary blockage,,it said to particularly avoid fatty food, like meat etc… Which is actually what a doctor in Spain said to my dad a few weeks ago. ( dad is from Belgium, but got sick whilst on holiday in Spain).
So since then, he has eaten only lean fish, vegetables and fruit.
Before he actually knew he had cc, he naturally started to avoid fats anyway, as he could notice his digestion was impaired by them.
I am trying to find an article I read yesterday, I thi k on the cancer research site, where it said that patients who had lost a certain percentage of their weight fared really not as good as those who had a good weight, which is why I am concerned. He has lost more than that percentage, that is for sure.
But now he gas a stent in place, I suppose he can eat everything? Or not, because he has still a lot of bilirubin??
This is a tricky time. So many things to consider!! And all so very tricky. But less so with people like you.
