    Hello! Do you remember me? After 8 gemox rounds my mom improved her situation, the 6 Liver injuries became 4 smaller and the lynphonode was smaller too. She continued with gemox another four rounds and this monday the rmi has shown this situation: the lymphonode is desappeared (good news), but the 4 tumors are bigger than the last time….how is it possible? The same drug improve a situation and worsens another….so, on monday we are going to Padua and the Next step will be a treatment with microwave…we trust this doctor who told us to be quiet, he is outstanding in his field….
    We fight and pray…i don’t want Delude myself, but i want to feel positive!

    Thank you Jukka for your reply and I wish you the best! Mom has started Gemox (the first round) and so far so good! Of course, like you said we hope that it will work! Also next week she is going to Padua, where there is a center of excellence for liver and bile ducts to get another opinion on her case

    Thank you Marions, we also started to give mom a melatonin and a syrup of aloe & myrra. She alredi took for 1 month potassium ascorbate….I believe in alternative treataments in addition to traditional therapies…could all these things to fight the growth or reduce the metastasis? Any experience? And what about GEMOX g1 and g2?
    Regards

    Thanks for the answers! Today the oncologist told her that she ‘ll come to start the chemo next week. I think with gemox. We don’t read yet the MRI result but I think that there are 6 met in the liver….A friend of my mother has just call me cryng and saying that mom has few time of life, it’s impossible to fight the desease, all therapy are useless, vain…Also the surgery was useless….I was schocked, because I know that it’s a bad desease, but I ask all of you: is she right?
    Do you have some experiences about metastasis in the liver after surgery?
    I feel lost…..

    Hi, I’m Italian and sorry for my english..I discovered this intresting site becaus of my Mom’s desease. (she is only 58 years old) Hilar CC rsected after 9 hours of surgery in september. The classification of CC was T3, N1, M0. It was aggressive enough! The resection went well and my mom has come back home after almost 2 months in the hospital. Today after 7 months without terapy the MR has shown 2 or 3 little lesion in the liver and a linpho node growth near the resection margin. Biliar ducts are not compromised but it’s necessary a teraphy: loco regional chemo…but we are waiting for the oncologic visit next friday….I don’t know what can I hope..I read more succesfull cases here but I see all difficult…I’m very afraid, I’ll give birth to my 2nd son the next month and I don’t feel well because of this situation. Thank for this site and for your experiences!
