    hi marions , thanx for ur support , but there still 6 hours till the appointment , I am so frustrated and afraid . I don’t know what to do if the doctor said there is no chemo ( this is expected ) . I love my dad very much he doesn’t know everything about his case and he thinks that he is cured after RFA , we want to give him every chance .

    Hi PCL1029 , I’m really sad for my father i don’t know what to do , I’m sorry for u too .
    my dad diagnosed 3 weeks ago , first he had an abdominal pain in the upper right area and enlarged left supraclavicular lymph node , first we suspected HCC as he had chronic liver disease ( cirrhosis ) , after CT Scan there was focal lesion in left hepatic lobe 2.9 cm and the biliary radicles were free .. my dad 55 years old and he was supposed to do valve replacement for aortic stenosis ( but the doctor had to delay it ) .. the diagnosis was confirmed by excisional biopsy to left supraclvicular lymph node and immunophenotyping ( CK 7 +VE , CK 20 -VE , CEA +VE , CA 19-9 +VE ) .. before RFA liver enzymes and albumin were within normal levels ( compansated ) but suddenly he developed ascites but he did RFA and he supposed to start chemo but my brother says the liver become decompansated !! this is very complicated :((
    I don’t know why I suspect the diagnosis although every thing against this , but this is my feeling :(( .. also after long search I found only one article that one unique case of cholangiocarcinoma has metastized to LT supraclavicular LN , It’ very rare !!

    Hello everyone , I am new member here , my father just diagnosed with peripheral intrahepatic CC , I have a question about Ascites
    My dad has developed ascites before RFA , the doctor said that because of portal hypertension … we have an appointment with the oncologist tomorrow , I am afraid that he could say that my dad contraindicated with chemotherapy because of liver cirrhosis , any idea about that ????

    God bless u all :)
