Welcome, @burksgrl. I'm tagging a few members like @mamarina @faithann64 @lfitz @k13 and @hopeful33250 who are familiar with GI issues after pancreatic cancer treatment and may have experience to share about bypass surgery for a blocked duodenum.

Not sure if I am not doing this right. Replied tothis previously but dont see my post. UPDATE now,
persistent GI Bleeding requiring 5 units then 2 days later 2 more units and still HGB only 7.1: CT dound GDA bleed, went thru groin and cauterized . 2 days later, Hgb. dropped from 8.2 and found black tarry stool. (Stool the previous day was normal. liver mets apparently, found 4 1/2 yrs ago, but no apparent growth. Still lover enzymes range from very high to not too bad. other than PT and PTT what clotting studies need to be done?
Previously cauterized an area in duodenum. worked for a bit then bright red blood vomiting x3. requiring 2 units. any suggestions would be appreciated.
