Just an update about my father. He is in the hospital totally dehydrated waiting to get replenished with fluids so he can get another cat scan and other tests. He is off Xeloda and his sores are better but it is the worst I have ever seen him. He is not responsive as far as talking he would mumble but that is it. He is very sleepy. If anyone has experienced this before I would appreciate any help. At this point we are preparing for the worst
Hi Snowlady my Name is Joey and my father who is 69yrs old just started Xeloda and he is going through exactly what your father is experiencing. Its heart breaking to see them like this. My father is also a diabetic and was diagnosed with cancer in the bile ducts of the liver. As of now he is very tired and extremely cold all the time. it’s like a sauna in his house. Unfortunatly my mother cant or wont except my fathers condition. its been very hard on everyone. All I can say is watch and pray. God knows iI have become more religious during this whole ordeal. We are constatnly checking on this and other treatments. FYI, my father also experiences stomach pain and is on meds for that to. He cant seem to eat much and it has begun nto show. My prayers are with you and your family. Thank you for using this sight to. I can learn more about this cancer too.

I can’t help you with the chemo as my husband, Teddy cannot use it, he can only do radiation or cyber knife but I am sure someone on our wonderful site will chime in. Can you give us a bit more information like where the CC is? Is it in his liver or the bile duct. Where are you located? My first suggestion would be to read up as much as you can from some of our posts. Go to the upper right of the page and just put in any subject and past posts will pop up for you, then make a list of questions for the doctor. If he cannot satisfy you with his answers you may want a second opinion. Come here as often as you want to vent, ask or advise. You never have to apologize!HI lAINY thanks for your concern. My father has it in the bile ducts and he is from central Jersey. We went to Sloan Kettering for the initial visit but the doctor said that he could be treated at centerstate in freehold. This is both an emotional and scary ride. thank you for all your help. I will defenitely be using this site. Joey
