Amytn Thu, 22 Dec 2005 00:00:00 GMT Hello I live in Denmark and I am 36 years old. My father was diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma and spread to the liver ind february 2005. He was offered chemo but not as a cure. He went on the chemo regime with oxaliplatin and gemzar and xeloda. His tumor regressed sligthly but has now progressed and they have stopped offering chemo. So now I am desperate for starting a new battle against the tumor. But here in Denmark if one thing doesn't work you are not likely to get the chance to try another thing. Any advice would be much appreciated. What chemo was/is your father on? My dad also has several drains internally that is. Looking forward to your reply. Randi Ranner Tue, 27 Dec 2005 00:00:00 GMT
