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.
