Thank you all so much for your kind responses and well wishes!! As rare as CC is, it is so comforting to know that there really ARE people out there who have had similar experiences and can provide such a crucial support system. My dad’s 8 hour roux-en-Y surgery was a great success today! They removed his tumor, gallbladder, bile dicts, and almost 40 percent of his liver and the surgeon is hopeful of his prognosis! We will have pathology results back in a week or two, but the doctor believes that we may have caught this early enough to even avoid chemotherapy. Miracles certainly do happen. He still has a long road ahead of him, but the success of the surgery and the huge smile we got from him in ICU a few hours ago was worth every minute of this trying week. Good luck, God Bless, and enjoy every minute you have with your loved ones!
