Gall Bladder Removed, Spot Discovered In Pancreas. Having Jaundice, With Itchy Skin, Yellow Eyes, Dark Urine. Cure?
my husband recently had gall bladder removed and a spot was discovered on his pancreas. He is jaundice with following symptoms: itchy skin, yellow eye whites, dark urine & white stool. We are waiting for a date for oncologist consultation. How long can he wait with these jaundice conditions? Can anything be done to alleviate the itchy skin?

Hi,
I am so sorry for your husband situation. From what you are saying, it seems he has been suffering from mechanic ikter and the reason is a spot in the pancreas.
High levels of bilirubin are toxic for the brain ,so I recommend you going to ER and the doctors will evaluate the situation of your husband accordingly.
Please bare in mind that you can't treate him in your home.
I wish the best for him and you all.
