thanks everyone for your kind words.. I feel some comfort in making a connection with others who have had similar experiences in their life.. I wish I had come across this website and forum a couple of years back when my father was originally diagnosed with this condition…
tiapatty, we were giving our dad some homepathy medicines for his CC as well.. Again its tough to say whether it worked on him or not..Askthiru,
I am sorry for your loss and for the suffering your father endured. It is strange that you mention Western medicine because lately I have been researching non-Western medicine and wondering if Western medicine is missing something in its focus. I plan to post about it so please keep coming back, our discussions are important to furthering understanding of this disease.

Dear Askthiru – This is a very difficult time for you. So sorry for your loss. Cherish the precious memories and hold on tight when you have difficult days. This is all normal and the love you have for your dad lives on. Blessings, Susan
Dear Askthiru
I am sorry to hear about your dad and the battle he had to go through. My condolences to you and your family.
warmest wishes
JemimaDear Askthiru,
Welcome to the site, but I am sorry to hear about your dad and that you had to find us. Lainy is right when she speaks about not looking back and questioning things as no one can tell what may or may not have happened had this or that been done or not done.
I lost my dad to CC back in December of 2009 and I know how you are feeling right now and can relate to the pain that you must feel. But please, try not to beat yourself up here as it won’t do you any good. Think of the good times that you shared with your dad and all of the positive memories that you have. And please know that we know what you are going through right now.
Best wishes,
Gavin
Dear askthiru, I am so sorry to have to welcome you here and then to say how sorry I am about your Father. Please do not look back and question as there is no way of knowing IF anything else could have been done. He is at peace now
and peace is the important thing. Hang on to all your good memories and know that you all did the best you could and no one can ask for more than that. My deepest sympathies to you and your family.My Dad was diagnosed with CC back in December 2008. He also had Hep-C Virus that had badly cirrhated his liver. We tried the ribavarin and interferon treatment for Hep-C that completely brought him down.. They placed plastic stents in his bile duct in Jan 09 and again in April 09.. He would do fine and then slowly will start developing itching and jaundice etc.. Again in Sep’09 he had hepatic encelapathy and they put a metal stent.. He was fine for about 9-10 months and once again the problems started with sudden chills and vomitting.. Finally this time in December 2010, they told us that the tumor had spread to the liver and they were finding a passage to put stents on both the left duct and the right duct.. They actually placed the stents on the ducts but within hours of the procedure, his stomach got bloated and he started gasping for breath aand started vomitting blood.. Doctors said this is probably the end and he passed away after a struggle for about 4-5 hours on December 11th.. This was all done in Hindhuja hospital in Mumbai, India.. After going thru the different forums here, I feel may be if he were in the US or any of the western countries, he could have lived a bit longer.. He had his gall bladder removed in 2002 in the same hospital and I’m not sure if the CC was a result of strictures during gall bladder removal….
