Unfortunately, Today's plan to insert a steel stent to resolve the bile duct blockage was unsuccessful. Apparently their capabilities were not compatible with my new plumbing arrangements. Plan "B" scheduled for tomorrow morning will involve the use of an arterial catheter to accomplish the same thing. They will be going through the chest wall and liver to get where they need to be. I don't know much else other than that but i am happy it is scheduled so soon because I am really sick and tired of being sick and tired. I was also told that the reason for the blockage appears to be enlarged Lymph Nodes and that my Doctor may be considering more Chemotherapy. I am going to see if there might be any pathology available to confirm that. I am not ready to take a bunch of Chemo on speculation if I can avoid it. I will do it if I have to because my Doc is a rockstar and I trust him but I like to push back a little sometimes so that I can make sure nobodys just guessing their way throught this (And I have been known to be a little obnoxious).
Thanks to Christina for taking the puppy tomorrow for us. That is such a huge help.
We are thrilled that we dont have to take Steven to work tomorrow either!!! Yay!!! We love him but that chore is getting a little old......
Sheri, if you see this I miss you and hope I can see you when you come through town on your trip. You too Snooze. Come to Sean's games this weekend if you can...
Keep Pushin...
Scott
