I can get a liver transplant without too much hassle..... BUT..... always the big ass in the room --- what they're telling me right now is - I'd have to do "aggressive radiation and chemo" beforehand. Of course - that was the info last week - without the additional new (if any) information this latest biopsy comes back with etc. So I'll have to wait and see now.

Thanks on the golf shot! It was pretty wild....

I'm the least knowledgeable person here when it comes to doctors, medicine & medical procedures. But with all the technology in medicine these days ... cutting something out & replacing it seems doable. WTF?

But again, I don't know squat.


You'd think perhaps -- but the liver is a major organ and these ducts are pretty critical (to say the least) and they just never discussed that procedure YET. There is also a surgery called "the whipple" but I'm not sure what that is and will ask etc when we go for the next BS session.

As far as the doctors go, I'd get a second, and third opinion. It's hard to fathom that something installed in your body, by a surgeon, to make something work properly, could potentially end up harming you.
Other than your energy level being off-par (pun intended)...how are you feeling?






You would have LOVED this long ranch shooting class! OMG we had so much fun and these guys were such good trainers!

My energy level is low -- say 50% most days - a good day might be 70%..... and if I over do it -- then I pay for a couple days. If I could get that fixed I'd be good as new. We shall see.

So sorry GW that you've had a hiccup in your rebound. I admire your courage to continue to speak openly about it and to continue the fight when you gotta be weary as hell day to day.

They seem to be determined to chemo and rad you regardless. I thought understood you to say that none of the recent tests (short of biopsy) have shown any
cancerous cells?

That is a fact Jeff.... I'm waiting now on the biopsies they took during this procedure (ERCP). What I think they're going to tell me -- is that they only found DEAD cancer cells.... we shall see.

That would be the ironic part wouldn't it? I cure myself only to have a foreign object be the problem. Oh well WTH.....

The Econoweld perfect.


Working in the medical field with seniors, we always say plan for the best but expect the worse with the caveat that as long as you are able to, continue to live and love as best you can as long as you can simple as that.

When will I or anyone of us die? Doesn't matter but having the mental faculty to be able to make decisions while living and preparing for any eventualities is the best anyone can do - do not go gentle into that good night buddy keep sinking and hitting them shots

I've felt better today than I have in weeks...... of course they "cleaned out" the stent - so that has to let the liver / bile duct thing function better and it's obviously working....

The pathology report is up on the Mayo website - but of course they're having website issues today and it's the only report I can't download and read.... and it holds the info on my condition that I seek.
