    Thank you all for your support through
    this forum. To answer a few of the questions posed, two docorrs told
    us this was not treatable. The other two recommended addressing the
    major issues with the liver and bile drainage first through stenting
    and then treating with gemzar and zeloda. Because of the number
    of large tumors in the liver the hope
    is that shrinking them may open
    up some other ducts.

    The oncologist treating this has only had two patients in eight
    months with this diagnosis. The closest major
    cities are Indianapolis and Cincinnati.

    Complicating some of the procedures has been a clotting factor which also has to be monitored.

    I just want to do what is best for
    my mother, insure she is comfortable and has the best quality
    of life possible.

    Any input is much appreciated.
    Stephanie
