    Thanks Jeffg for your input. There was a discussion about a resection, but he is a heart patient and there has been some discussion about his health. It has not affected both lobs. I think it is in the right lobe, it started in the bile duct. The tumor is approx 11 cm at this time. How long have you had CC. I am going to encourage him to get a second opinion. The doctor seems hopeful of a full recovery, but I am feeling unsure of the prognosis. Thanks again and I hope you are feeling better. I pray for endurance for all of us. Mssocialworker

    Hi- this my first time posting. My brother was just diagnosed with CC. It has invaded his liver, with no metasis to other areas. It is in stage 2. They are starting chemo on 7/10/07. He will be having chemo once a week with Gemzar for three weeks. I would like to know what has been the experience of others. He has no symptoms yet, except for being tired. The family is really concerned about his diagnosis and prognosis. Thanks for any insight you can give. Are there questions we should ask of the doctors?
