ERCP

[Guest guest]

Again my son is going for another procedure. Again I sit at this

computer knowning that there are others who know exactly how I feel.

was dx at age 15 with PSC. He is now 30 we have gone through

some really scary times in the past. Not long ago he suffered from

ascites, and unfortunately through a miscommunication among his m.d.s

medication was prescribed that caused him to have a toxic result. He

was in a state of complete confusion as a result and it took three days

before they figured out what was causing it and made the necessary

corrections. He's had his lungs aspirated, and generally fluctuates

from feeling " normal " to feeling really ill.

I just needed to vent a bit. You see I cannot sit through the

procedures so my husband goes with him. I wait until the results and

then feel I can speak with some degree of knowledge - thanks to the

information I have accumulated through this group. This ERCP is being

done to check on a nodule found in his liver, through MRI. They are

also considering a stent. We'll see.

Thanks for being here God Bless all of us who take this illness and not

let it stop us from LIFE.
