Hi Debbie,
I asked the doctor today. He said molecular profiling was not done but he can refer us to another doctor for this procedure.
I also asked about gem/cis. He said they did not use this as it only has approximately 15% success rate. From what I’ve been reading, gem/cis is the first treatment plan for those diagnosed with CC. Maybe the doctors and procedures are different here?

Thank you Catherine for the link. I’ve been reading and researching night and day the last couple of weeks.
I just obtained the ER report from home.
Findings: small mild somewhat patchy opacities in the lung bases bilaterally.
Fatty liver. Cholecystectomy. Poorly defined masslike area in the central right lobe of the liver measuring at least 5cm. There is mild to moderate intrahepatic biliary ductal dilatation peripheral to this area. This masslike area constricts the right portal vein. Small amount of air in the biliary tree mainly on the left. A 2cm cystic structure in the right lobe of the liver may be a cyst or a focally dilated intrahepatic bile duct.
I’m going to request the medical reports from the hospital here…hopefully they are able to provide them in English.

Hi Lainy,
Thank you for that information. My family lived in Taiwan but moved to the U.S. about 40 years ago and traveled frequently back to Taiwan. I will do more search about this liver fluke.
This whole thing came on so suddenly that I appreciate any insight on this disease and any other helpful information.
Thank you again, Nancy
