Dear Moshin, welcome to our wonderful family and the best place to be for CC support. I would really get another opinion if you can. I have always felt that with any kind of Cancer one does not wait to see what is going to happen. The ONC has to be very proactive and start some kind of treatment immediately. We also have many members whose CC had Metastasized, had chemo and the chemo got all the METS. No reason to get so bad it can’t be treated. I agree with Gavin, try to get another opinion. Best of luck to you and please do keep us posted.
Hi Mohsin,
Welcome to the site. I’m sorry to hear about your mum and what she is going through right now but glad that you’ve joined us here as you’re in the best place for support and help, and know that you’ll get loads of each from everyone here. Thanks for sharing what your mum is going through right now and having been the carer for my dad after he was diagnosed with CC I know what you are going through right now.
Have you thought about seeking further opinions on treatment options for your mum? Is the radiotherapist saying that he/she does not recommend radiotherapy in general for CC or just for your mum? My dad never had chemo so I can’t share any personal experiences on that but I know that others will be along soon to share with you on this. Not sure really about not trying chemo unless there is pain, never heard of that before. Personally if it was me I would get my mum to another oncolgist to seek their opinion as to chemo. We have so many members here who are or have gone through chemo before they have had any pain.
Do keep coming back Mohsin, we are here for you and we care.
My best wishes to you and your mum,
Gavin
On 25 may 2014 my mother had symptoms of jaundice after ultrasound the doctor suggested ERCP in which a stent was placed in CBD, because there was blockage or you can say contraction of CBD. After ERCP doctor show his opinion that she had a cancer and he suggested CT scan. In CT scan every thing was clear. then open surgery was planned to remove the gall bladder because there was stones in the gall bladder. on 12 june 2014 open surgery was done to remove gall bladder, successfully.
In her histo pathology report there was a tumour in the gall bladder in which serosa involvement was clear. After that we had suggested to go through from PET CT scan. In that scan conclusive findings are ‘Finding favoring FGD avid residual disease in CBD and Porta Hepatic Nodes. Hypermetabolic ill defined focus in liver hepatic metastasis.’
The doctors said that it is a stage 4 cancer and cant be surgically removed. where radio therapist said there is no proven role of radiation in this case. Chemo therapist told us not to disturb at that moment. Because thanks God that my mother is fine and there is no problem apparently. The chemo therapist said when she had any pain then chemo therapy can be given.
Now the last hope that remains is palliative treatment that improves the quality of her life. I shall be very thankful to all of you who help me in suggesting some tips that will improve her life quality. Looking to hear from you people. Than I will place more questions.
Regards
Mohsin
