Hi
Would just like to say that my mom had a Klatskin tumor removed and her bile duct rebuilt w/a partial liver resection by the most outstanding doctor who specializes in this surgery. His name is Dr. Leslie Blumgart and he is at Sloan Kettering in Manhattan.
Unfortunately, this type of surgery is NOT a cure and will most likely just extend the time you have with your loved one. My mom and a total of 2 operations, both of which looked very "good" with margins appearing clean, but nonetheless, she did pass away 2 1/2 years later. Dr. Blumgart did NOT recommend any chemo because quality of life would suffer for the last part, so my mom decided to live life, go on cruises, visit all her friends, relatives, grandchildren, and only suffered a very short time at the end--all managed with the help of hospice and wonderful private duty nurses. She passed away in her own home with her family at her side--just as she had wanted to do. Not in a hospital, but in her familiar surroundings with everyone there at her side.
Good luck for the future; personally I would stay away from chemo and enjoy every moment--feeling relatively in good health!
