Thank you for welcoming us. He has had 3 different doctors agree on the same treatment, the spine surgery did indeed help him with his pain. The only pain he has now is in the one from where the radiation hit the tumor in the sacram. The doctor has told us that now the bone has to grow in that area again. It will take time but eventually the pain will subside. He is diabetic so we give him glucerna, when he doesn’t want to eat. We are in San Antonio, Texas. We are hoping that we can find a new medicine that will stop this cancer in its tracks.
Hi I am the daughter of Albert Preciado Jr a Vietnam Veteran who was just diagnosed on October 19th with Cholangiocarcinoma. Today is exactly two months and he has been through spine surgery to remove a tumor that was pressing the nerve and causing unbelievable pain for him. He has had two rounds of radiation to the tumors in the neck, hip, sacram, tailbone, and the area in the spine where they removed the tumor. He just started Chemo for the tumor in the liver. He is in shock as well as the family. I am one of two daughters and there are 7 grandchildren between us ranging from 20 to 7. It has been very hard watching a strong man who was always on the go to a man who has been stopped in his tracks. He has lost so much weight and now uses a walker to get around. He did not qualify for the experimental drug that they tested him for so we are hoping the chemo wil help prolong his life.
