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.

I'm a pretty strong hitter..... typical drive for me at home is 260 ish plus..... and a 9 iron is a 120 club... 8 is a 140.... and so on.

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.
