Stunned

Bill had the ERCP done this afternoon. We were hoping it would be a quick outpatient procedure to remove the stone that was blocking the bile duct. Unfortunately, it's a tumor that is causing the obstruction.  A plastic shunt was inserted to allow drainage.


Not sure what this really means. I was to stunned to ask questions. The gastric doctor will be speaking with the oncologist this evening. I am hoping we will get a call to talk with the oncologist. Not sure if the chemo will be stopped. I have a feeling it will be until he goes to see the oncologist at U.I.C.  


Bill is doing good other wise. He is home resting. He is tired and has an upset stomach. He will be able to return back to work tomorrow.
