    Hello my friends...Just a short update.  I believe the New Proton Beam clinical trial has ended. I haven't heard any thing more regard this clinical trial period. I hope one of my friends on Cancer Compass was able to participate in the trial. I am sure there will be more trials to treat Bile Duct Cancer. One good thing I have notice on the chat board. There has been no activity for almost a month. I think t...

      Hello temkhabana, I am sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. I am not surprised at all what you are tell us...A Cancer Tumor in or around the portal vein is very very serious. I am surprised they did surgery. My wife's Klatskin Tumor was wrapped around the hepatic artery...they removed it and she only had the portal vein left to supply blood to her liver. My wife's portal vein was damaged during Cyberknife ...

            Hello Brian...I am glad to see you are at times scanning Cancer Compass and offering all that great info. Like you, I wish Karen and I thought about clinical trials earlier. As you know Karen battled it for over 7 long years with conventional med's and procedures. We applied for trails at the end...but she never qualified because it was too late. I guess what they say is correct, "live and learn". Thats why I gald ...

              Dear PeterUK You honor me with such warm kind words and thoughts. I know that you realize I wish I didn't ever connect with Cancer Compass. I wish I never lived those long 7 1/2 years battling this cancer with my beautiful wife Karen. Both Karen and I experienced so many difficults moments during those 7 plus years. Sleep was such a luxury. I found myself falling asleep in the hospital cafeteria. Every time Karen fe...

                Hello my friends on Cancer Compass. I have been responding to many messages about whats next when Bile Duct Cancer spreads. If anything, just remember when it this cancer re-surfaces and starts to spread it is very aggressive. Chemo and Radiation will not control the spread.  The only thing in my opinion is left is to comfort your love one. stay close, listen to them, let them know it is okay to leave. Remembe...

                  Hello Justined I did not see this posted messages or I would have responded sooner. I did respond to the recent posted message. Now that I see more of what is going on I am sure your mom will not survive as long as they said. I am very sorry to read all this. But I know what your mom is going through and I know what you and the family is going through. Again, take care Leonard from California

                    Hello Justined... Well Justined primary Bile Duct Cancer is bad enough, but when it re-surfaces it is much more aggressive. Chemo is worthless on reoccuring BDC. Remenber everyone is different. My wife Karen was 60 when she ended her journey of life battling this horrible. Her last 47 days at UCSF medical center was very horrible. Karen battled this cancer from 2003 to 2010...her quality of life during that period...

                      Hello, my name is Leonard Vinci. I live in Alamo California. Karen my wife has been dealing with bile duct cancer and recovery for the past 7 1/2 years. We been through it all...I think. There's not much I haven't done with regard to care-giving. I'm 70 and Karen is 59. I am very interested in the cause of bile duct cancer. I'm doing my own research and I believe if we knew the more about the cause of bile duct cancer we may be able to avoid the problem. NOTE: This was updated 10/20/2011...Hello again, With deep sadness I just want all my dear friends at Cancer Compass to know Karen passed away on December 2, 2010. It was very difficult the last 40 days when Karen ended her journey of life at the UCSF Medical Center. Karen was 3 days from her 60th birthday. I miss her very much. I would give anything to be able care-give 24/7 again, even though it was very hard it's nothing like living without Karen. If anyone would like to read more about Karen send me a private message at lgvinci@concast.net and I will send it to you. Thanks Leonard Vinci from Alamo, California.
                      By the way, I am continuing to review Cancer Compass in hope to help so many others deal with this horrible cancer. As we know there is very little research being done on Bile Duct Cancer. That's because it is a very rare cancer and there is not more money to be made dealing with breast cancer. That's too bad because everyone getting Bile Duct Cancer dies...there are no survivor's.
