Update!

Here is an update on my situation,

I went in January 27th for my re-scope and Thankfully unlike the one back in November 2021, my G.I was able to complete it.

Although,

My G.I didn't give me any information nor hasn't yet, she did inform me that I needed to go get labs done as well as a MRCP.

I have an appointment this Friday to get my MRCP, but I don't understand why? If I've already had Ultrasounds, CT Scans, X- Rays and Blood work done already.. what a MRCP could possibly show that no other scan has?

Can anyone please help me understand?

I'm not sure but this shows more detail than the other test from what I read. Maybe they need more detail.

It's good they are being thorough, as nerve racking as it is. So many people ask for more tests and constantly get stonewalled. I truly hope you get some great results and can move forward with positivity.

Thank you for your response, You're right! It's a good thing that they are being thorough, it's just I am so nervous.. I have 5 kids, my oldest is 10 and my youngest is 4 .. and I am constantly worried if there is something seriously wrong with me.. I guess that I'm jusg scared.

MRCP as I found can test your biliary tract. I think you need this if your dr ordered it.
