Sharon, hopefully this is just a a small stone or cyst blocking a duct. You have had enough weird stuff going on with you.

PSC is primary sclerosing cholangitis, a liver disease that advances to cancer. It is associated with UC.

I had not heard of this ultrasound procedure (EUS), but it appears to be similar to ERCP which uses x-ray. When my liver enzymes were elevated they used MRCP for diagnosis. It was completely noninvasive.

PSC doesn't always turn into cancer., but it does increase chances of needing a liver transplant
