Jeff and Lana,
My initial message is #16 under cholangiocarcinoma. My husband was diagnosed in june of 2004, had surgery but not the full Whipple due to steatic hepatitis in the liver which caused alot of bleeding. Low dose chemo and radiation in Sept and Oct and when CT showed spots in liver in Feb started on Gemzar and Xeloda. Did well until this month when CT showed increased size and the stents clogged twice due to increase in size of the bile duct tumor. Sooo now we've just started FOLFOX (combination of 3 chemos and Avastin). No side effects from his first dose yesterday. Hoping it continues and that the tumors shrink. We too have stayed pretty positive but it's sometimes hard - like an emotional rollercoaster. It helps to talk with others going through the same thing. I'm glad to know your spouses are doing pretty well. I'm interested in knowing more about the radiation ablation and any other treatments. I'll try the website you mentioned, Jeff. Donna548
