On Sunday morning, the attending physician discussed the findings of Friday's PET/CT scan. I was informed that the pancreatic tumor had enlarged to the point that it is blocking the common bile duct, causing the jaundice & elevated bilirubin levels.
The scans also revealed that my abdomen was retaining a large amount of fluid, a condition called Ascites. Over the last two weeks my abdomen had slowly become more and more distended limiting my ability to eat, lay down, and breath deeply.
Most significantly, my previously pristine liver has now developed multiple tumors on both lobes in less than 60 days. Radiation is no longer an option. Where to go from here?
