    Dear All,

    just an update this time.

    5FU is clearly not working for our case (Lung mets).
    Locally the tumour is well controlled but latest CT scan shows new spots in the lungs.
    Our oncologist is now thinking of Irinotecane…
    Does anyone have any experience with this drug?

    Best wishes

    Dear all,

    First of all may I just say that it is very reassuring for me to have found this forum.

    My mother is a 64 year old lady with a history of cholangiocarcinoma (<1cm in size), originally diagnosed and surgically resected in 2010.
    The tumour has recurred 2013 with 12 lung metastatic nodules 0.5-1.5 mm) in size.
    She has been since then on chemo 9 cycles of Gemzar/Cisplatin and currently on 5FU. She is in excellent clinical and psychological condition but CT scan shows every 3 months tumor growth of about 10-20%.

    Does any of you have any ideas/experience on further treatment schemes?

    Has anyone tried Cyberknife for multiple lesions?

    Does anyone have experience with dendritic cells treatment?

    Best wishes

    Nick
