Hi Ted. I just read your posts. They were very moving. I hope you and your wife are doing the best you can under these circumstances. My husband is battling cholangiocarcinoma. We need to lower his bilirubin. We just returned from Mayo. Doctors there tried inserting a stent but could not do it. They told us that there was nothing more they could do. I have heard of other procedures called a biliary bypass, which sounds like maybe what your wife had. Could you please tell me about your experiences with this procedure and the name of the doctor who performed it? Thank you for sharing, Ted.
