Stella I too am sorry that you guys didn’t get the news you were hoping for. I noticed you mentioned something about fluid in lining of his lungs. I had that recently as well and there was some discomfort associated with it (shortness of breath and some pain depending on how I moved by body). Did they give you any options regarding the fluid?
Hugs and blessings you guys and I too hope that once things are a little more settled that they will have a new plan of attack. Take care.

Not the news you were expecting or wanted to hear, but I’m hoping that once the dust settles a new plan of action will be put in place. Know that we are all here to help and support you in any way that we can. Thoughts and prayers coming your way.
Dearest Stella, I am so very sorry to read this, not what you wee expecting at all. Did the ONC say what may be tried next? This is some pile to digest when I know all you want to do is spit it all out! Know that we are all right with you in spirit and sending big hugs. You never know how strong you are until “strong” is the only choice you have!
Well, it’s the worst news we could have wished for. The cancer has spread extensively. The radiation did nothing to curb the growth of the original cholangiocarcinoma which has actually grown! We have a 2 page (A4) report of where all the cancer has gone – and this in 4 months. Also there is fluid in the lining of his lungs and in his abdominal area. Not good news at all. I dont know what else to say…
My husband had another CT scan today, to see what the radiation has done to the ICC and to check his lungs and abdomen…..now the “long” wait to see the Oncologist for the results this afternoon. I have butterflies in my stomach!
