my wife 48 years old diagnosed with gallbladder/cholangiocarcinoma 1 month ago at stage iv non resectable. started on chemo 2 weeks ago.don't know the response yet. anybody knows any other treatment to shrink the tumor so that she may become surgical candidate. Please help.
Hi, my husband also with stage iv cancer started chem last week, but ended up in the er due to his stent .. he had to have it replaced and it was infected in that area. They are saying that maybe he should reconsider and not get chemo as they dont think it will help. The choice is his and he is thinking what to do. Please keep me informed and if you hear of any other thing that has worked to shrink the tumors, please let me know.
Its very hard and I wish you the best of luck.
