    Cristie….Do you have three separate cancers or, has your biliary cancer metastasized?
    Best wishes,

    Cristie. I am a cc survivor because of liver transplant!!! I could only be a candidate if cancer was contained. I did gemcidabin, then 24 hour chemo pump with 5FU while doing radiation and Xeloda (oral chemo), while waiting for transplant. My cancer never changed, but it didn’t grow. I have the worlds greatest doctor, Dr. William Chapman at Barnes-Jewish in St. Louis, MO. My story is nothing short of a miracle because of this team olf doctors and hospital (I had 2 transplants). I have posted on this site many times about my expierence, so please call me if you would like more info or help. (618-576-3247). I can not say enough about my journey through this awful disease, I am one of the few sucess stories. Lots of prayers-Cathy

    Hello, I have bile duct, liver & stomach cancer (cancer spread through visceral peritoneum) 12 months ago. I am currently being administered Gemzar as chemotherapy. I have been informed that I am a candicate for a liver transplant, however, not until all of the spots in my stomach have disappear. The problem I am facing is that the doctors are telling me that only chemo can possible reduce the cancer in my stomach, and nothing else. The chemo does not seem to be eliminating the stomach cancer….I NEED HELP, as the worry is that the cancer in my stomach will spread and therefore eliminate my chance at having a life saving transplant. I am desperate for treatment to try to eliminate the cancer in my stomach…PLEASE HELP….Docters? treatment centres? THANK YOU
