My sister was just diagnosed with Stage IV Bile Duct Cancer that has metastasized to her rib bone, spine, hip bone and lymph nodes. I have never dealt with cancer in my life and have no clue what we should do. She is headed to the Mayo Clinic on Monday and they are going to see her.
Has anyone dealt with this at this stage and what should I expect. Or any advice?
Hello Teresa,
I am very sorry to hear about your sister. This is a very, very serious condition she is in. On the other hand I understand from this messageboard that the Mayo Clinic is one of the best in the world for this type of cancer. If anything positive is possible, they will try it.
Please keep me informed via this board. My husband has the same cancer and in spite of the 2-3 months they gave him, he is doing quit well 10 months later.
I wish you strength and good luck, also for your sister of course.
