    Thanks Marion’s

    I had a look at that linked report it seems to indicate that the estimated survival time with that treatment is 11 months. I know every case is different but it would be great to get more time.

    Although treatment has started we won’t know how dad reacts until the first review in a few weeks. Fingers crossed the chemo will have a positive effect.

    I will be in touch.

    Thanks

    Thanks for welcoming me. The type of chemo he is receiving is Cistablin and Gemcitabine. Is this the standard for cholangiocarcinoma?

    Thank you so much for your response it’s appreciated. We have scoured everything for information. Dad was a bit down for a day or two after chemo but was up and active afterwards – we don’t know if he is putting on a show but it is heartbreaking having to go through this. We do not know yet the effect of chemotherapy and we won’t know until the next review. He said he is happy to try any treatment once it will prolong his life.he knows there is no cure to this horrible disease at this stage . Has anyone experience on radiation ? Can it be used in combination with chemo? Should these be questions we should ask of the oncologist?
