My husbands PET scan is Tuesday. We have blood work and ct scan tomorrow. Hopefully we will know what the next steps are. I know what you mean about the mental and emotional strain. My husband is 66. Still too young to be going thru this. Keep me posted on your journey. Prayers coming your way.

My husband is 56. His only symptom was extreme fatigue. He thought he was having an unusually hard time recovering from a cold. He also had some itchy skin, which prompted his doctor to test liver enzymes, which were high. Fast forward...7.2 cm lesion on his liver, plus multiple other spots on his liver. Source is bile duct. We are 19 days since diagnosis. He has had 2 stents placed in that duct (first one blocked pretty quickly), and his first round of chemo (only 2 of 3 meds given due to high bilirubin and alk phosphate). I feel so lost. This has all happened so fast. I want to run to the "right" place...and I am not sure where that is. We are currently at Methodist in St Louis Park, MN. I have requested a 2nd opinion from Mayo...but I am pretty confident my insurance will not pay for it. Mayo is not in any level of coverage for us.
