I was diagnosed last August but confined to liver so had liver resection Sept 6, did well through surgery and no spread and no symptoms but need chemo - hopefully you can have surgery or treatment for this cancer - keep me informed and I will keep you in my prayers

Dear Angelziggy -- I was diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma in January 2024 under similar circumstances as your husband. A stent was placed, and I was referred to a surgical oncologist and oncologist. Seek initial opinions and possible treatments at a comprehensive cancer center if possible. In the US, several centers of excellence in treating cholangiocarcinoma are worth considering, including Mayo Rochester.

Any update? My husband was diagnosed with extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma a month ago. Interested in hearing what treatments you have had? Elizabetta

@angelziggy, how did the biopsy and the stent placement go? How is your husband doing? And YOU?
