My 47-year-old sister learned today that she is Stage 3 cholangiocarcinoma which is inoperable. She can start Gemcitabine this week or start a trial at the UW-Hospital Paul Carbone Cancer Center. The problem with the trial is that she would have to wait 3-4 weeks to start the trial. The trial is Sorafenib in conjunction with Capecitabine and Oxaliplatin. She likes the idea of being in the trial but waiting 3-4 weeks worries her.
Can anyone describe their results with Gemcitabine for Stage 3 cholangiocarcinoma?
Anyone have any experience with Sorafenib/Capecitabine/Oxaliplatin combination?
Just looking for real thoughts from real patients.
Thank you so much.
