@brin we are there...! My husband just had his ninth ERCP/stents replaced in the past 11 months. It has been a very stressful journey. He is going through the many many MANY steps for a liver transplant, and while finishing up the chemo/radiation, he developed sepsis from his stents. It was SO scary. He has had infections before, but the chemo brought his immune system down so much that he crashed in a big hurry. Maybe two hours? I took him to the Mayo ER- in hindsight I maybe should have called an ambulance? I don't know. He spent four days in-patient and just got released yesterday afternoon. His team believes a transplant is his only real cure.
