Annual CT scan that surveils stable pleural placque in lungs from asbestos exposure 50 years ago detected a 5 cm lesion on liver. Follow on MRI confirmed diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma. Had liver biopsy on May 2, 2024. Meet with oncologist/surgeon on the 28th and 29th. Suspect 3 months of chemo to shrink or stop growth before resection. Had grown by a third in 30-40 days. Have set up local chemo locally to where I live in Upstate New York. Hopefully will begin in early June. Meanwhile have been self educating myself on all aspects of the disease. Have been very impressed with the standard of care at the Mayo clinic. Just a little concerned with how fast treatment/appointments happen as hoping to leverage early detection.
