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

We were told today that it is cholangio carcinoma. I am asking for a referral Anderson Clinic in Houston Texas. Anyone have any information about this place? We were told my husband has 6 months without treatment and with treatment maybe 12-18 months.

@lozierpam54, good to hear from you and get an update on your husband’s diagnosis. With his confirmed diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma or bile duct cancer, I moved your messages to this discussion so you can connect with others like @jalewallen74 @rezmo @lovingwifeterry @billdemarco @tball3748 @reddino and others.

What treatments are being suggested for your husband, Pam?

I also have Cholangiocarcinoma and live in Houston. I have received Chemotherapy consisting of the drugs Cisplatin and Gemcitabine for a year. This treatment has been successful in keeping the cancer from spreading and reducing the size of the 3 lesions I have as revealed by the PET Scans. Recently my Oncologist has switched me to Immunotherapy using the drug Imfinzi which is not so hard on my kidneys and uses the bodies' own Immune System. I receive my treatments with Genesis Medical Group which is closer to my home and transportation than MD Anderson. Of course MD is the best cancer hospital in the world and my daughter used them when when she needed surgery to remove her Thyroid Cancer. Feel free to contact me at anytime on the Bile Duct Cancer forum or here.
