In 5/04 I was diagnosed with bile duct cancer; advised by prominent doctor in Boston that it was not resectable. However, I found a wonderful surgeon at Lahey Clinic in Burlington who did the resection - taking 3/4 of my liver and revamping my insides! Was able to go back to work within 3 months and then had a recurrence in 1/06 down by the pancreas. The same surgeon did a modified whipple and once again I was able to go back to work within three months. I have had no chemo or radiation and just recently had my first CT scan that showed no words: recurrence or cholangiocarcinoma. I am 56 years old and hoping that my words of good news will inspire many. I did not think I would live past 53 and I am truly grateful for the additional 3 years and I am looking forward to many more. My prayers are with all of you who are going through this. Please feel free to contact me.
