Subject: Trip to Milwaukee for Bill's pancreas appointment - by Lynn
Just a little update.
Today we went to Milwaukee, to the pancreas center of Froedtert. They did a blood draw on Bill and determined that he has no markers of cancer in his blood. They looked at the CT scan and the MRI and saw that there is a "stone" in his bile duct, and that the rest of the duct is inflamed. So we will have to go back to have a special scan (which I was HOPING they'd do today, but no. He has to be sedated and eat nothing etc. for the scan.) We don't have a date for that yet, because they have to talk to a lot of people to schedule it.
They think now that it is benign, but might require surgery anyway, because of the inflammation.
