Marion and Gavin, thank you for your encouragement!
I just got back from visiting my Dad in the hospital. This was the first time seeing him since Monday (attempted resection).
My head is spinning with what feels like a million queswtions. Here are some of them and if anyone has any answers or imput, I would really appreciate it.
– Is it normal to have a distended abdomen after an attempted liver resection?
– When are solids reintroduced into the diet?
– If no gas or BM, should that mean you can’t have any liquids?
– Should there be a main “go to” Doctor that is responsible for the overall treatment of the patient? Or is it typical to just been seen by a various specialist?
– What happens if there is a bowel obstruction?
– Is it normal for the bilirubin level to up after surgery? It was 5.2 on Monday, 7 yesterday and 10 today.Thank you for your support!
Hi Marion,
Thank you very much for your information regarding Dr. Lenz. I will definitely look into it. I am really glad to have found this site as it is very informative and encouraging. It’s such a scary time in our lives and it helps to find support in people like you.Take Care,
LisaHi Michael,
Thank you very much for your Dad’s biliruben details. I appreciate you taking the time to look up the information. I hope your Dad’s chemo goes well and best wishes to you and the rest of your family.Thank you!
Hi Michael,
If you don’t mind, what was your Dad’s biliruben level at the time of surgery? The reason I ask is because the my Dad’s doctors keep putting off surgery waiting for his biliruben levels to come down and frankly my Dad’s getting frustrated.Best wishes for your Dad and your family.
Thank you!
