I just lost my sister in law. Just 48 years old. She got some kind of pancreatic infection and it spread to the rest of her body. She died of sepsis/ total organ failure.
I went through something similar as a teen. It took months to diagnose as the stones multiplied and the infection ate away at my body. I had gall stones at 16. Thank god they found it when they did. It was a very close call.
