    Lainy: I’m really sorry to hear about your husband, he really give a good fight.

    Marions: thank you for explanations, will hope the number to go down.

    PCL1029: My dad was classified as klatskin’s tumor, so he had resected right liver with Roux- en-Y (RNY) procedure. The mayo oncologist told me there are not many options in term of chemo. I’m just hoping his infection is the cause of the spike. The 2nd time around, what are your option of treatments? Have you ever tried other drugs aside from Gemzar?

    I’m so thankful for all your wonderful inputs, I will keep you update about his condition

    Kristin,

    I can relate to how you feel. My dad was diagnosed on July and by August 2012 his physical changed drastically. With a bile drain tube coming from his right stomach, and one of the doctor said he was going to die in 6-9 months, I was angry with everything including God. My dad is an active person, and it’s a frustration for you to see him helpless. My advise for you, don’t listen to number of years on his live, if your dad still feels he can fight this disease like my dad, believe there is always a door open for you. It gives you hope when you’re down as it’s to me. Your dad will be in my pray!

    Hi Lainy,

    Thank you for your welcome. As far as I know this type of tumor doesn’t have many drug options. Do you remember what was your husband drug for his chemo? Maybe I can ask my dad’s oncologist. I’m trying to be strong, turn my fright into a fight. Now, I’m in the hospital seeing my dad’s strength to recover, it’s just a blessing day everyday.
