I am so scared. My Dad who just turned 77 has lost weight (about 20 pounds since summer) No other symptoms. An incidental CT scan for a kidney stone revealed lung nodules. Further testing has showed a tumor on the ampulla. The biopsy came back neither malignant nor benign, "suspicious" is what they call it. They are doing another one tomorrow when he has a PTC done (He has now turned yellow, but still no pain) The oncologist we saw today believes that the lung nodules are mets from the ampulla tumor. He also said the liver is probably involved because the cancer typically goes ampulla, liver, lungs. This makes him inelligible for surgery. I really need an experienced opinion. Should we try chemo? Can anyone tell me their story? Should we try a clinical trial? We have not been given the prognosis yet. I am afraid to hear it, yet I want to know. If anyone is willing to advise me I sure would appreciate it.
