Dear MaryJo – Looking forward to hearing more about your progress. If the chemo has helped, perhaps you’ll go through another cycle. Has surgery ever been an option for you? Are you being treated where they know CC very well? Blessings, Susan
Hi Maryjo,
I am sure that you’re going to get much more knowledgable advice from other members soon but I will gladly share my experience with you meanwhile. My mom has inoperable cholangiocarcinoma and has just finished her series of chemo. They did a CT scan right after and found that none of the tumors on her liver have grown in the last four months, which her oncologist considered to be good news. Because she did well on the chemo, he wanted her to start another series in hopes that it will continue keeping the cancer at bay or maybe even shrink some of the tumors. So she just finished her first two weeks of the new treatment and feels great.
I would advise you to talk to your husband’s oncologist to ask for his plan for the future.
Stay strong,
MonikaDear Mary Jo welcome to our wonderful family but sorry you had to find us. What has the ONC given you as a prognosis? May I ask where your husband is being treated? Have you sought out a 2nd or 3rd opinion? If you go to our Search Engine at the top of the page and type in Diaphram posts will appear about the Diaphram. CIS/GEM is the popular cocktail of choice but I would think your ONC would be advising you what is next. If your husband completed a full cycle of chemo usually the next thing is a Scan. Please let us know a little more if you can, we are here for you!
