Hi,
My surgeon called it a “classic presentation”. I was unexpectedly hit with unpleasant symptoms of discomfort in abdomen, weight loss, appetite loss, and discolored stool and urine. Within two weeks I had observable jaundice and then went on to get a stent put in while diagnosis proceeded forward.
I live near my family and I have been supported very well by them as well as a friend or two. It just seemed to me that a number of people’s stories indicated that they needed more help as time went on. I have certainly found their support both comforting and needed so far.
Thanks, Mark
