In the beginning of September our family started noticing that my dad looked jaundice. After going to one of his many regular follow up appointments with his doctors he had some lab work done. It was a shock to us all when he received a phone call telling him that he needed to get to the ER right away, that his liver enzymes were high. Once admitted he had imaging taken where they found gallstones. Upon looking at further images they also found a mass blocking his pancreatic duct.
He was then transferred to St. Lukes where they took 2 biopsies and placed a bile bag. After weeks of being in the hospital he was finally able to come home. The next day my dad started having lightheadedness and was breathing funny and ended up passing out. Back to the hospital again for another two weeks where they found the cause to be his sodium levels were too low due to the bile bag. He had to undergo another procedure placing two stents so they could remove the bile bag.
After returning home, on October 23rd the doctor called with the life changing news that he has Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer.
He has recently started his chemo therapy treatments and my mom has had to miss alot of work to help take care of him. The medical bills are starting to come in on top of plumbing issues that have caused frequent flooding in the house that needs to be repaired.
Please help support my parents during this difficult time, they would be forever grateful for any relief towards their worries and stress by these burdens.
