thanks for your answer Lainy. He’s been treated at UMC in Tucson. im not sure about the exact terms, but i know that the MRI showed that they wouldn’t be able to install a stent. My dad is 67 was diagnosed on July 13th 2013. stage IV Intrahepathetic CC. He has done 3 rounds of Chemo with Cisplatin and Gemcitabine. The treatment had stopped the tumors growth. But last week when he went to have it, they didnt like his test numbers. Bilirubin was too high. He was admitted into the hospital on Monday for close monitoring, and they also observed some renal issues. He had showed signs of fatigue due to the chemo before, but this time its just worse…
Hi. we just received the news that the doctors wouldn’t be able to install a stent for my father, because his tumor is actually blocking the small liver holes, instead of the bile ducts. i wanted to know if theyres anything else they can actually do to reduce its bilirubin? (im in canada, but my dad is getting treated in AZ so i get the updates a lil later). they have to consult and get back to my family in the AM. my father had already started 3 rounds of chemo. but they dont want to give him anymore, because he is so tired. i feel like he’s slowly going everytime i talk to him… should i be getting ready for the worst news of my life?
