    Thanks Gavin! I am trying to pursue her into being willing to put the metal stint! We are waiting to hear back from the doctor!
    Keep you all posted!

    well let me rephrase that! she has the option to do a stint replacement surgery I’m just not sure she wants to. I think she may just want to keep the temporary one she has and just not replace it. Her last surgery was pretty difficult!

    Yes, she at this point has an external drain, the doctors have just asked us to leave it off. It may be possible to just have the external drain on??? without having anymore surgeries?

    So its seems as of yesterday her bandages are getting soaked and are needing to be changed more often then before. What this tells me is that her temp stint may already need to be replaced. This is going to be her third and her second only lasted 3 weeks. What happens if she decided not to go back into surgery and replace it at all? I’m thinking if she does have to go into another surgery that we should have the metal stint placed in there. I know she still feels the same way about treatment and will not have the chemo or radiation. I just want her to be comfortable and enjoyable while she is still with us.

    Thoughts?

    I just got off the phone with her and she has opted to put in a metal stint and avoid treatment. She is already diabetic and very weak. She is interested in alternative medicine but is leaning away from radiation and chemo at her age and health.

    :(
