I had a PVE last Thursday and had expected to go home on Friday. Sadly there was a rare bleed and I experienced a lot of pain. Also I have a horrible taste in my mouth and don't feel hungry. I am now recovering at my sister's home but am very weak and still in pain in my shoulder and side. I am told the procedure took two hours. I have had lots of morphine injections and antibiotics which have helped. Has anyone else had this problem as it is making me anxious about the next procedure to remove the cancer in the bile duct. I am 72 and fairly active, usually, and fit
