Thank you for sharing your story, triple blessed! I am searching for hope for my sister who also has ICC and a young child. I need to look up what exactly chemoradiation is. Best to you and thank you again!

Thank you so much for sharing your story with us!!
I tend to be private about my situations as well.
Your case is similar to mine. I am 33, had intrahepatic cc and a left hepatectomy 5/11 followed by 3 cycles of gem/cis, 6 wks chemo radiation and 3 more cycles of gem/cis. I had negative lymph nodes and negative margins, but one margin was close.
This group is such a wonderful resource. Welcome to the site but sorry you had to find us.

Take care,

Susie

Hello Everyone!

I have been using this board for months to research the best course of action for fighting this cancer. I am a young mother of 3 children, 5, 3 and 9 months. I never thought I would actually post to this board as I tend to be private but my case was recently published in The Oncologist Journal and thought it may help some people who are in the same situation as I am in. I have attached the journal article which tells you more than you probably want to know about my case (Intrahepatic, Resected, Stage 2A). You will see two doctors responses to my case, a pro and a con response as far as adjuvant therapy. The pro response is from Dr. Andrew Zhu of Massachusetts General Hospital and the con response is from Dr. Jennifer Knox from Princess Margaret Hospital.

I have currently completed 4 cycles of Gem/Cis and I am one week into Chemoradiation. I am a patient at Massachusetts General with a great team of doctors, Kenneth Tanabe (Surgeon), Andrew Zhu (Oncologist) and Ted Hong (Radiation Oncologist). I hope people find this article helpful!
