Hi Tiah,
Of ours you may ask,I’m on a 9 cycle course of cisplatin and gemcitabine, which I gather from reading here seems to e the common treatment. My cycle is 2 weeks of chemo the a weeks rest.
I’m handling it better than expected, which has surprised me. I seem to get a wide range of side effects but they are all minor and just require adjustments to my lifestyle.
I have to keep reminding myself of that as I’m sure you can understand it’s easy to get self absorbed nd I’m a bit over it all atm lol.

October 10, 2015 at 2:25 pm #90014lainySpectatorHello, Tony and welcome to the best place to be for CC support but sorry you had to join us. WOW! It sounds like your treatments are being successful. Shrinkage is another of our favorite words. Please keep us updated on your progress as we truly care!
October 10, 2015 at 12:41 pm #90013tiahMemberHello fellow Aussie. My mum was diagnosed with intrahepatic CC and is currently in a position to yours – inoperable due to location and hence on neoadjuvant chemotherapy with the intention of surgery once the tumor has shrunk. May I ask which chemotherapy regime you are on? And how you have been with it so far? Good to hear the tumor markers are decreasing!
October 10, 2015 at 11:30 am #11761kernosMemberHi all
I’m in Sydney Australia. Diagnosed with Intrahepatic CC in April this year.
It’s inoperable due to its position and I must about to commence cycle 9 of my chemo treatment. Hopefully my last or a while at least.
I go in for my ct scan soon to judge the progress of the treatment but y tumour markers have gone from over 3500 on diagnosis to 1006 about a month ago so my health care team is pretty optimistic.
Looking forward to lurking nd thanks or having me ☺
Tony
