In Dec 2007 my father was diagnosed with Bile Duct Cancer. He was really sick uo until 2 weeks ago, he's stronger than ever. He has been seeing the Oncologist and she says they are not going to give him any treatment and we dont understand why? Its like they have just given up. We are totally confussed and upset. We are in Canada and have asked the Dr's if we should goes to the U.S. for a second opionion and they say no its not worth it. We dont like their "bed side manor" this is my dad's life on the line its not a cold. Does anyone have any advice or a re their any Bile Duct Cancer survivors or people who have lived for more than 2-4 years?? Please help. We pray for him everyday. Also he is only 60 years old.
Hi,
Hi, My husband was diagnosed with Bile Duct Cancer 6/07. We were sent to Mass. General, in Boston., Dr. Fernandez. Phnominal Dr. and hospital, one of the BEST. I ran into a few families there that were from Canada. My husband had the Whipple Procedure done on 7/07. Started Gemzar in 9/07,then 11/07 Five FU with Radiation, 1/08 back to Gemzar and finshed in 2/08. My husband is doing great. Just started going back to work partime last week. If you feel in your hearts, Don't Give Up, there are Dr.'s out there that can help. Look at the people that are on this site. There are a lot of people that have great results.
Please take care.
