Cholangiocarcinoma With Young Women

I am curious about your husband's cancer treatments. I hope you don't mind me asking you some questions.

1. Is Gemzar and gemcitobine the same drug?

2. Where had your husband's cancer spread to?

My dad is 63 and was diagnosed in October with bile duct cancer. It had spread into his liver (a good sized tumor) and into one of his ribs and a vertebrae. Gemcitobine and xoloda didn't help at all. Doxil hasn't helped either. The cancer has recently spread out of his vertebrae and wrapped around his spinal cord. He is paralyzed from the waist down. He is in rehab right now to build up his uppper body strength so he can use a wheel chair. We are hoping he can come home soon. They will discuss future treatments once he is out of rehab. I think I will look more into Erbitux and Avastin and mention it to his doctor.

I'm glad to hear your husband is doing well. It gives the rest of us hope.

Thank you for sharing your story.

JenRose
