Introduction

I was diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma in August 2010 and had a liver resection removing over 70 percent of my liver followed by 6 months of 5FU. Three months later my tumor marks jumped and a CAT scan showed two new tumors. I had another resection removing over 35 percent of my liver. During this last resection they used radiation and they got clean margins. One month later my tumor markers were elevated again and a CAT scan showed a one centimeter tumor in the liver. They started me on Gemzar and I will have radiation as well. I am new to the site and really need a support group and people that understand the challenges involved with this disease.
