WOW - I'm being put on the LTx list as a prep for the Roux En Y (HJ) next Monday

[Guest guest]

Hello Everyone,

WOW - If y'all have tracked any of my emails recently about getting the

Roux En Y (HJ) on Monday September 10th, you'll see this is the result

of not being able to get through my CBD with any medical devices.

They've imaged and biopsied me a bunch, I thank GOD so far no cancer has

been present, but that's the overriding concern. I'll find out on

Monday after the surgery and biopsy of the CBD if they still find no

cancer present. That's what I ask for y'alls prayers for, the surgery

doesn't so much scare me, cancer does.

I just got a call from one of the nurses in the program who told me that

although my MELD score, currently 8 or 9, hasn't changed they are going

to list me in case things don't go as planned and they find the need to

LTx me on Monday. Is this kind of thing normal?

Do LTx's happen that fast?

I was thinking I'd keep my liver for a while, especially after the Roux,

since I thought the operation might help my liver not have to fight a

blocked CBD.

Is it true that all LTx's include a Roux En Y for PSC patients, that's

what my doctors are saying?

I was mentally ready for the Roux, I hadn't thought much about a new

liver. WOW
