    Thank you for your kind responses. This is my husband’s last week of chemo pump and radiation. A scan will be done in a month to see how things look. 18 additional weeks are recommended starting in January. He’s unsure if he wants to do that. He just wants life to return to normal…

    Radiation has just made him tired and have a strange stomach feeling…but he’s done so well.

    We both work for the state of North Carolina…he’s a social worker and I’m a teacher. This is how we have collected so much sick leave to be able to take off months. We are human service people who have always worked for little money…but we see the benefits MEAN A LOT at times like these. :-)

    Does anyone know how effective chemo is on CC? His tumor was removed…with clear margins…but the cancer was only 1 mm away. He’s had radiation with a chemo pump to make the radiation work better. So the 18 weeks have been recommended for prevention. But,, I’ve read chemo isn’t really that helpful with bile duct cancer. Thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Suzzaz
