He said once he did open her up he noticed her gallbladder being full - I don't believe he saw a shunt - at least he didn't say so. I do also remember that we did bloodwork quite often and he would check her levels and since they were not coming down where he thought they should be, is when he decided on the biopsy. He was glad to know what the biopsy showed, (and at least it was not a cancer problem) but it really didn't change his course of treatment since he did like using the metro, but once that drug didn't work, we took her off that and just used the marin supplement and K/D.
I have my notes ready to speak with him next week. Thanks for your thoughts. |
Now I am really confused. Who diagnosed the shunt?
