Hi Gavin and Lainy,

Thanks for the quick replies and support. My brother is having his chemo done in Barrie, ON but he has seen surgeons at Sunnybrook in Toronto.

At this point they are saying that the CC is inoperable b/c he has mets in the liver. No mets anywhere else ( thank goodness). Since being on chemo is liver is operating pretty much back to normal acording to his LFT’s and his bili is almost normal. It is hard to get lots of info. from him and his wife b/c I am not sure they want to believe he is inoperable…. I believe that the longer he can stay stable and keep shrinking the tumour and lesions the better chance he may one day get surgery…. At this point I need to go with what he has been told. He will see his surgeon again in the summer so we will see then what is treatment plans will be.

Yes, My brother is being given the anti-nausea drugs. He also has home care come in to the house to give him extra fluids. He may have a weak stomach b/c when I was on chemo I had bad nausea and vomiting so it could be genetic?

Thanks for all your support and I will be coming back to this site. It is nice to speak to people that understand this type of cancer… It is hard to find good info on CC. esp. for people who are healthly and young and have CC.

Take Care,

Michelle
