Dr. Allan Hemming, Shands hospital of Gainesville Florida is an expert surgeon with much success in the surgery of this cancer – google him – or google Shands to find out about him…
It was too late for him to help us as my Aunt’s cancer was advanced and she had complication (septic infections and died of them) but even though he has little ‘bedside’ manner in the way of most surgeons he is excellent –
Also there is a study going on at the University of South Floirda in a treatment trial with new drug that zeroes into the idea that charbohydrates esaserbates this cancer -can’t think of the website now (terrible shock at my Aunt dying two days ago) but will post it later –
My aunt is dying of bile duct cancer as I write this message. She was diagnosed 5 weeks ago – she hardly displayed any symtoms before – mild GERD, nausea, fatique etc. were all she experienced – no itching, no jaundice, nothing else – so she simply thought she had the flu –
This was a silent cancer for her – as when diagnosed it was advanced – she went into the hospital for a stint and had a pump put in instead – immediately the pump wound site became infected – then her veins collapsed which necessitated a pic line and that became infected – so 5 weeks later she has 4-7 days to live –
What is this? How can this attack so suddently – we had never heard of bile duct cancer and thought that pancreatic cancer was the most lethal and swift, but this cancer is worse?
She has not been in a high risk group (liver disease, Hep C, Aids, Alcoholic etc. she was just a a normal wonderful and giving person and now she can’t even communicate so we will never hear her lovely voice again – she is alert and sort of reponsive in hearing at this time – she just stares into space, but she listens intently…
Have found out that the hearing is the last to ‘go’…
Will post more later – her name is Babs – so pray for us –
