Did you have surgery, or did you go directly to Tibsovo. Any metastases?

Dan,

My husband has the same diagnosis as you - but just recently. How are you doing? Did you have surgery? Chemo? Join any clinical trials? Ar you at Mayo Scottsdale? Elizabetta

Dear Elizabetta -- I was diagnosed in January 2024 with distal cholangiocarcinoma. Treatments included 10 biweekly chemo infusions followed by 28 daily (Monday-Friday) radiation complemented with oral chemo at the University of Arizona Cancer Center in Tucson with radical bile duct resection and reattachment surgery by Dr. Mark Truty and his team at Mayo Rochester in October 2024. A Whipple Procedure was a possibility but not necessary. The pathology report showed "no residual carcinoma."

@billdemarco

just returned from Mayo, excellent help, diagnosis for the past 7 months has been cancer of the biliary tract unspecified. after 90 minutes in the MRI tube it became clear that it was the gall bladder making all the noise. doctor and advanced practice nurse spent 2.5 hours with me and my wife going over results and making a good plan for the next year. Part of the plan includes a chemo holiday to see what happens without chemo for a couple months . the good news is cancer has not grown and lymph nodes in the base abdomen are thought be dead. felt it was top notch service and felt evert so much hopeful now that I have several doctors offering our doc advice.

@denvergirl - I too was diagnosed with bile duct cancer. Fortunately it was found early and by accident. I did go to Mayo in Rochester, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. My Purple Team was excellent. And, yes, the are a national leader in this disease.
