Hello, my father recently was diagnosed with bilirubin and had a procedure done with a camera examining the a blocked bile duct by a mass. The doctor was not able to pin point if the mass and will be sent to have a similar procedure done again. I have read that with my father s symptoms and the mass that it could possibly be bile duct cancer the is usually rare. I would like to know what we should expect of the outcome. After having the camera inserted my father has felt very weak to the point where he needs assistance to stand up. My father is a very athletic man and had took a turn for the worse. Thank you for your time! Pat
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your father has jaundice. You should go for complete liver function test and ultrasound abdomen. Then if required go for endoscopy. Treatment depends on the cause and site. You may have cancer of bile duct or near opening of bile duct, or he may have some stricture. consult your doctor and take treatment according to cause. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
