Dear Gin84 -- I was 69 when my wife and I were completely surprised (shocked) by a bile duct cancer (cholangiocarcinoma) diagnosis in January 2024. My curative 10 month treatment plan included 10 biweekly chemo treatments, 28 daily radiation sessions (M-F) and a 4.5 hour bile duct resection and reattachment surgery at Mayo Rochester with Dr. Mark Truty a year ago. As your Mom and family embark on this unexpected and unwelcome journey, you're not alone, and 21st-century American medicine is delivering a variety of options. You're going to learn a lot along the way. I recommend starting by identifying what comprehensive cancer centers are near you. Dan
