My name is John and I live in Houston. A year ago I was diagnosed with Cholangiocarcinoma and placed on chemotherapy, starting with Paclitaxel and Carboplatin. I tolerated these well with the usual side effects. After a few treatments my oncologist placed me on Cisplatin and Gemcitabine. The Cisplatin caused problems with my kidneys so I finished the chemo cycle of 6 treatments with Gemcitabine only while obtaining approval for the immunotherapy drug Imfinzi. I was infused today with my third Imfinzi treatment. After my most recent PET scan, my diagnosis has been updated to Intrahepatic Bile Duct Carcinoma. The liver cancer is too scattered for surgery and only the largest lesion shows any growth. The rest of the liver cancer has shrunk and some lesions have disappeared. The most recent blood work shows good bile duct and liver function. I that's my journey to this forum. I look forward to participating in this forum and welcome feedback. John
