Hi all..thankyou for all the info I recieved on this website..my brother who lived in Berlin, Germany passed away last sunday after a 14mo battle with a klatskin tumor…I would like to briefly offer a synopsis of his battle..diagnosed 14mos ago, inoperable klatskin tumor…received 5Fu and Cisplatin, which initially shrank his tumor by 1/2…but problem was all the stent infections, stent blockages, stent changes..that is what ultimately did him in I believe..he eventually developed bile sepsis and never made it out of the hospital after that…he only had one dose of Gemzar…He was the picture of health for 1 year solid…looked great, ate great, walked for miles all over, we visited him twice during that time, and you would never even know anything was wrong…then the all the stent problems started…and that was that…two months later he died…I’m sorry if this is blunt…but it happened exactly as I had read on the cancercompass website…perfectly fine for one solid year…then the stent problems, then two month later he was gone…I know there have been people who have not even had that long with their families, and others who are still surviving long after diagnosis…god bless each and every person, friend and family member to enjoy what time they have with each other and always hold onto hope..my brother was told he didn’t have long, and he survived 14 mos to continue to enhance our lives…Godspeed brother…and everyone hold onto hope always!!!
