    And mine as well. Five months from the diagnosis of cc. It all slipped by so fast, especially the last week or so with some hope he’d make Christmas, but to fall short by days. We were all there, held his hand, laughed when we could, listened to him talk, breath, and when he could, smile. His eyes were clear, shining, and strong. but his body simply went away. His wife of 60 years is now ours to protect. there will never be another like him…

    Lisa,

    Dad’s stent has been replaced a couple of times. Def. helped with biliruben issues and other than recurring infection which may or may not be related to stent he feels reasonably good. Opting for strong course of chemo but must wait for antibiotic regimen to be done. Will have to wait to see. From what we know after endoscopy its cc, with liver stomach and gall bladder involvement. Dad would like to know the world record for living with the disease…something to shoot for. Will keep you posted. Good luck to you!

    Hi Lisa. My first post as well. My Dad, 82, had been diagnosed in Aug. with cc, but now we’ve learned its inoperable and spread throughout the liver. Already been thru the stent procedure and now plan to meet with oncologist to assess treatment options excluding surgery. A bit of a blow to an otherwise strong and optomistic soul…and crushing to his family. Good luck and keep the faith!
