Bile Duct Cancer, Post-Whipple Procedure

My 65 yr old mom had a whipple done about 3 weeks ago. She's been home for a week & recovering beautifully, but now we found out the initial pathology report was wrong. It has gotten into the lymph nodes. My mom has to go for the full 6mos of chemo and full radiation. I can't even think about what that means, or what comes after. I don't understand how this could happen or why this is happening to her when she deserves SO much better and I can't stand the thought of her in pain. How do I give her support? How can I help her through this?

The information websites I try to look up are so confusing & I can't tell which natural supplements are good for bile duct cancer. I don't know where to start?

Please someone give me some help and hope, I'm kind of freaking out.

There is a faily active Bile Duct Cancer Discussion board on The John Hopkins web site
You can follow this link. http://pathology2.jhu.edu/gbbd/ Hope it helps.

Dear Janpan, did you recieve my message in reference to U-Fn (brown seaweed extract). Research in Japan has dicovered that U-Fn will cause cancer cells to self distruct within a 72 hour period after making contact. Please send me a private email.

interested on any and all research, treatments for resected cholangiocarcinoma metastasized to the liver in 36 year old son-in-law - he failed first round of chemo - gemcitabine with tarceva

I am sorry, I have not checked back on this board until today, so i haven't seen your message. I don't know how to send you a private email from this site, but I would like more info. Can U-Fn be bought in a regular health store? what are the risks/side effects?

Is there more info on the extract therapy that was cited here since February? Does if have any effect on patients with cancers in the bone marrow such as AML?
