I’m now and will be forever stuck with these permanent stents which require constant intervention to keep the bile flowing... mind you... this requires flights to Scottsdale.... dogs in the kennel... hotel room expense etc. By April I will have
Been there at least once per month since December. I had an ECRP in January and am scheduled for another one in March. Easy right? They’re 3 hour surgical procedures... and cost $50,000+ per.

A friend of mine used to say "If money can fix it, it's not a problem". I'm sure you agree Greg.
There are countless people on this forum that are glad you are going to be around for the foreseeable future.

Best!

Thanks for the kind words Bill..... right now -- what I really have, is a plumbing issue. The surgeons seem to think (they're just guessing) that they can continue to clean the stents out for "awhile".... basically we'll continue this course "until they can't". Nobody will know when that is. At that point - my only option will be what's called "The Whipple". Surgeon said straight up - they won't do that until my only other choice is death. Apparently it's not a great surgery -- lots of complications - digestive issues etc. The surgery is "easy" - but the post op is a problem.

Right now --- I'm just about two years "after death" --- and my plan is to stretch this out as long as I can!! LOL I do truly appreciate the extra time I can tell ya!
