On March 4th, my dad was diagnosed with Hilar Cholangiocarinoma at Westchester Medical Center where they placed a plastic stent in the bile duct. After a long month of second, third and fourth opinions (Mayo, Columbia, Montefiore), my dad went in for surgery at 8:00am today with Dr. Jarnagin at MSKCC. We are very confident with Dr. Jarnagin and are hoping for the best.
This website has been invaluable for my family and me to get information about this difficult disease. I will be sure to update with good news.
