    Well it’s been 8 months since first diagnosed. Went through first round of chemo with Gemzar and PET scan showed tumor in liver gone and tumor in bile duct stayed the same. Starting second round with GEmzar hopefully will also have goon results.

    Hi Jerry I also live on Long Island and my mom has cc. she was diagnosed in April and hasn’t had a treatment yet. Maybe starting chemo on Thursday not sure yet. Gemzar we wanted to use to slow cancer down. She had other health issues to take care of first. She is on lots of vitamins that we saw an alternative medicine dr. for. Also she has a very positive attitude. At 81 she’s a fireball. Good luck with your fight.

    hi My mom is 81 and she has been diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma. she also has compression fractures in her back. Tomorrow she goes for a balloon kyroplasty for her back and then next week we start with Chemo. Most likely Gemzar. Has anyone had success with Photo Dynamic Therapy?? She had a metal stent placed in the end of July if that makes any difference? Also we are looking into a place in Germany for theapy the Leonardis-klinik. Any suggestions thoughts ideas??
