My mother was diagnosed with Cancer of the Bile Duct around the 1st of August and had surgery around the 1st of Sept. Three weeks later she passed away. This Dr. told me she would be ok, but she was not and when she would call him about her symptoms he said these were normal. She could not keep any food down. She was losing weight, and was still very yellow. She told me the everything she ate tasted like salt. Can anyone tell me why she was not getting better after the cancer was removed??
