Karen’s Story

Site created on May 19, 2023

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement.

Karen was admitted to OSF in Escanaba 5/12/23 with what was thought to be complications from diverticulitis. She had extremely high liver enzymes and was transferred to St. Mary's in Green Bay on 5/15. The following day they discovered a 3cm malignant mass on the head of her pancreas which was blocking her Common Bile Duct. We are currently waiting on a further course of tx.
