    Hi Everyone, God is good we went to the Dr. today Got the results from my MRI and we got great news the Dr said no signs of Cancer blood work looks great. Now we will go back in 6 months for another MRI if that is good will not have to go back for a year ( that is a little scary). Not for sure I am ready to wait a whole year to be checked. I am just wondering if we have any other members that are a stage 1 Cholangiocarcinoma, would like to hear from you if so. I am just wondering because i am my surgeons 2nd case off stage 1 Cholangiocarcinoma in 17 years and the 1st patient for my oncologist.

    Hi to all again, I was just wondering if itching would have anything to do with CC. In the past few weeks a have had itching in diffrent areas of my body and was wondering if anyone with bile duct cancer has had the same problem. My next MRI March 2. June 2008. Dr removed the gallbladder and 40% left lobe of liver said he had a 2 inch clear margin, no chemo or radiation. My scans have been good until the last couple showing spots on the liver.

    OMG thank you all for your uplifting prayers and thoughts. My wife and I are very grateful for all your suggestions we will be asking to go for a 2nd opinion tomorrow. We did ask the Dr’s last year why Chemo was not offered and they said they don’t have a chemo that works we did not like that answer but accepted it. Now we believe we want to check with MD Anderson to see what they say and what they can offer and go from that. I have some people telling me why are you reading all that stuff just stay positive. I tell them I am learning what I need to know on this awful disease that it is so rare and even more rare that it was found early. I will be staying with the foundation, it is a wonderful site that offers good information uplifting inspiration and hopefully one day I can help someone the same way you all have helped me & my wife. I will stay in touch to let you know what I find out. Thank you again :)
