    Rain,
    I think that is what Tiffany is on. Look at her recent post. She details her journey and treatment with CC.

    Marion,
    I am wondering if some of the exclusions have changed. I was originally told by Mayo clinic that they do not do transplants for ICC but look at Tiffany. Do you think more hospitals are looking at this as a treatment for CC?

    Patty,
    My case has been presented at the tumor board meetings several times but I have never been present. I had steriotactic radiation three times. The first time I had it, my first scan results were not great…no change…..my radiologist said the radiation continues to work so we ran another scan in about 6 weeks and the results were excellent. Maybe the radiation isn’t done destroying your tumor yet.

    Mine has been low since diagnosis in 2010. It was never high but now is much lower.

    Carl,
    I had a liver resection in Sept. 2010 followed by six months of chemo and I had the Folfinox. I tolerated it very well, just some nausea and fatigue. After my second resection I had the Gem/Cis and I did not feel as well on this chemo but it was tolerable, nausea, fatigue, heartburn and neuropathy. My body has not responded to chemo as well as others. I have had good results from steriotactic radiation . If you want to chat please feel free to call me at 330-903-6868.

    I still have hives for those of you who asked! They are horrible, covering about 70% of my body. They are itchy and hurt. The allergist has run many tests and all have come back normal, still waiting on autoimmune panel. Taking more pills than I ever have to try and control the itching and redness.
