I have 1 idea. Can he possibly come out near you? You have the best Mayo right near you. They are fabulous and you could even start by having his wife send them his test results and they will tell her if they can help him or how to proceed. Please keep us posted.
I am in MPLS he is in Atlanta. He just found out yesterday..we have known since Monday. Don’t know the stage or if its in the lymph nodes at this point.
He is meeting with an oncologist next wk at DeKalb med ctr.
I give many thanks for his wife..his angel right now. My heart is broken.
I will be scouring this site for info and have been encouraged by some positive stories.
Thank You LainyHi Bean and welcome to our family. We are very sorry to read about your brother. Anger, denial, sadness are all part of the process. Then you will get busy researching and the fight will begin. If you go to the top of the page we have a search button that is very helpful. Read as much as you can. Where are you located? Is this doctor familiar with CC? Remember you have every right for a 2nd, 3rd or more opinions. All you have to do is gather his test results and send them to another Hospital or doctor. Today is Christmas Eve and your brother is still right here with you.
my brother (47)was just diagnosed. not sure what stage but it is inoperable.
he had a stint placed to drain bile. He and his wife are meeting with the oncologist next week. Merry F***in xmas huh?
I swing between denial/optimism and anger/sadness. I guess after reading Lisa’s post I felt a little better. I will be going back thru the threads to try to familiarize myself with what the tx will be like.
