    Thank you all so much. I have added those questions to the list we already have for Dr. House when we meet with him next Tuesday.

    Thank you all for the kind responses. The latest word is that there appears to be a malignancy of some sort in the right bile duct just before it joins to become the main bile duct. The doc did manage to place a stent in that duct.

    Biopsy results are due Tuesday and then hopefully a definitive plan of action will also happen. My parents seem to be struggling a bit with getting a grasp on the whiole thing. I believe they are still almost in a denial state of mind, but it’s letting them rest peacefully for now, so that’s not all bad.

    I have to admit I had never heard of CC before this and am so happy to have found this website.

    I’m researching like mad, but was wondering if there is a common set of questions that might be good to ask the docs? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    I’m kind of doing this long distance. They’re in Indiana and I live in Arizona, but I expect to be making a trip back east very soon.

    Thx

    Thanks everyone for the welcome. This looks like a great site with lots of good info. Dad is still waiting on the biopsy report. He said it could be as long as two weeks before he knows something. He’s feeling a bit better every day, appetite returning slowly.

    The IU med center sounds like it could be a good bet for him. They live about 50 miles east of Indy, so it’s not a long drive.

    Thanks again.

    Bob
