Cholangiocarcinoma - Bile Duct Cancer - anyone else dealing with this?

Yes I’m waiting for my next scan. I had done the gem/Cis chemo Sept - Nov then I was approved to start a targeted therapy called Pemazyre since I did the genetic testing and they found I had the FGFR2 mutation. 30% chance that this will shrink my tumor, so I figured, stay home, take a daily pill and get odds better than winning the lottery….why not, right?

thanks for ,your response, for some reason I have no tumor perhaps because it was caught early but suspect that may be coming . I am on Gem/Cis since November as well, getting second opinion this week and they have me in the database for genetic trials so maybe will learn something more.

The side effects aren’t as bad as I read them to be (so far). Definitely more hair loss, a bit tired the first day of my 2nd cycle. Mostly very dry eyes when I get up in the morning and dry mouth. I found a FB page for other patients taking Pemazyre and got product info on eye drops and mouth spray. So far so good.
