As I posted a few days ago, my 38 year old sister was diagnosed with stage 1 kalatskin tumor in the bile duct. The drs. now want to do a liver resectioning and to take out the tumor with some of the liver and then some chemo. (we are in Sloan K.)
I would like some imput if possible from anyone who went through or cared for someone who underwent this surgery. We are told it should last 7-8 hours and my sister will be hospitalized 3 weeks. But what can we expect in terms of pain, incontinence, ability to eat or get off the bed. Also what about "normal" glitches like infections and stent clogging?
They just put her in a bilial catheter to get her #s down to do the surgery.
Thank you and G-d bless.
Hello Bayla,
This is Leonard from Alamo California. Last night I responded to your message but due to a Cancer Compass error I don't think the message was sent to you.

Hope your sister is doing better this morning.
