hi.my is ron and im new to this site..my wife who is 58 years old was diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma back in march of last year…she has had 6 rounds of chemo which kept it in check for a while now it is starting to progress..after her chemo they tried to put a pump in which she was not a candidate for. the pump would have delivered chemo directly to the tumor..now she has been cleared for s.i.r.t. on feb.5…we are optimistic and so are the doctors that this procedure will benefit her… i have read where this procedure has help many people…so we are hopefull..you know for many years we always donated to the cancer society of america and st. jude and always thought what a horrific disease cancer is and what the families of the loved ones affected must be going though…but you never really know until this dreaded disease strikes a love one and you get that gut wrenching feeling in the pit of your stomach that stays with you 24 7…we think about the positve things…that there is treatment and hope for people with this disease…we are planning a trip hopefully this coming march,we will be married 40 years…and looking forward to another 40…thank you all for listening to our story and please except our prayers and hope that someday this dreaded disease will no longer affect a loved one or anyone……our prayers to all ron
