Thank you Lainy & Marions for your heartfelt words and valuable information. She is receiving the Obdivo alone. I am in the process of getting the second opinion, she is at the moment very weak from her last chemotherapy, as soon as she feels a bit stronger, we will make the arrangements at MD Anderson. I will surely keep you posted on her condition.

Hello, My name is Loretta
I came to this site for my aunt Esperanza age 72, she is like my second mother. She is my mother’s only sibling. She was diagnosed with Cholangiocarcinoma in January 2015 and also: Malignant Neoplasm of Intraheptic Bile Ducts, this may be the same. We got word yesterday that the treatment (chemo) she is taking is not working. She is on OBDIVO. We do not want to give up, she is currently in a great deal of pain, and because of this pain her dr. Is thinking the liver is growing and not shrinking. She will be getting a ct scan tomorrow, my question has anyone heard of this treatment for this type of cancer? She lives in Roswell, NM and I want to get her to MD Anderson in Houston for a second opinion, I feel that the Drs in Roswell, have given up and want to send her home on hospice. Her liver enzymes are at 2400, another reason they feel the chemo is not working. I just would like to hear from you what you might suggest her my dear aunt. Thank you for your help, looking forward to hearing from you.
