Hi Minnie, my husband was diagnosed with cc on march 2012. He weighed 240 & now he weighs 125. For about 2 months he has not wanted to eat & has been to the ER for throwing up several times. Dr. Did a EGD Thursday & said stomach is not emptying. Stopped up at the duadnal. Just a very tiny opening. He is going to try to get a stint through it next week. I pray they can. Is this the same thing your husband had? Hope he is doing well. Please keep us informed as to his progress as we r praying for y’all. I don’t know what our next option is.
Hi I am new to this site. My husband was diagnosed with extra hepatic cc in July 2012. It started with jaundice. He had 4 stints pit in & they kept stopping up so the drs put in a medal stint. We went to md Anderson in houston . They confirmed the diagnosis. Non resectable. We went through chemo. Gemzar- cisplatin. They hoped it would shrink enough to br resected. PTScan showed no shrinkage at all. We found a dr. at columbia hospital in New York who has done miracles with resections where other drs. would not touch. His name is Dr. kato. We went there. He said he could not do it was too risky. We have just finished chemo of taxol – carboplatin. We have another pet scan in 3 weeks. Hoping and praying its shrunk. The drs. Here don’t know what to do after that. The cancer is wrapped around his portal vein. Has anyone else had this similar situation. If so please let me know what we might except. I wish u all the best of luck & I am praying for all of you.
Thanks for any information you may want to share
