My MIL was diagnosed with a Klatskin tumor three weeks ago when she thought she was having gall bladder issues.
They went in 5/31to remove it only to find it had spread to the liver and kidneys. The oncologist finally told us it is stage 4. They are wanting to treat her with 5FU for 3 weeks 5 days a week, They are not giving us any time frame and from what I have read it isn't good. Does anyone have any experience with this?
We are trying to get the information togerther so that we can let her make the choice to go through witht he treatments because of the side effects.
She is also being pushed to stay at her daughter's for the treatment which will put her away from her husband who just found out he has prostate cancer. I am not so sure that now is the time for them to be apart.
