My spouse was diagnosed with ICC - Bile Duct Cancer. He had a liver resection due to a malignant tumor on the left lobe of his liver which was done on 6/24/24. His team of doctors came up with the plan to perform an MRI on his abdomen, chest x-ray and lab work every 3 months. However, the appointments are every 2 months. First one is on 8/31/24, next one scheduled on 10/23/24. Bile Duct Cancer is rare and has a high recurrence rate, that is why the MRI’s, chest x-ray and lab work is scheduled. He recently started taking an oral chemo drug called Capecitabine 500 mg. He takes 4 pills within 30 minutes after breakfast and 4 more pills within 30 minutes after dinner. No bad reactions so far but this is only day 4 for the chemo. Bile Duct Cancer caught early, Stage 1B / Grade 2.

Is anyone else taking this chemo drug where you can share your experience? He will be on chemo for 6 months. Will take chemo twice a day for 2 weeks, then 1 week no chemo, this will be repetitive with 2 weeks on and 1 week off for 6 months.
