My father had surgery one month ago to remove a blockage in his bile duct and cancer was found, Most of the bile duct and and the entire gall bladder were removed. There remains a positive margin at the right positior portion of the duct, which connects to the liver. The cancer has spread to one lymph node, which freaked me out, but the doctor seems more concerned about the margin in the duct and says it most likely will spread there.
The doctor says the cancer will recurr in one to two years. My dad is in denial now, but I think this is good since he is about to start radiation. WE were told this tumor is not chemo sensitive.
Does anyone have any information on Klatskins (upper dile duct) cancer? He is only 69. I thought he'd live to his 80's :( Thank you for your help.
