    Thanks for all the replies guys.

    I had a chat to my dad last night and he has a metal stent currently with another stent inside it (I assume this is plastic).

    The cancer was initially found on the gall bladder and bile duct and was unresectable. Over the past year the cancer does not seem to have moved around his body very much, which is good news. This makes me hopeful that as long as we can drain his liver he can kick on for a while longer.

    He has had a few different chemos and recently had some radiotherapy.
    I have read about PDT which seems to be another treatment we can take. I haven’t come accross SBRT so I will look into that as an option too.
