I have Bile Duct Cancer which spread to my liver. I did a year of chemotherapy and am on immunotherapy currently. My treatment team has me drinking 2 quarts of water a day to keep my kidneys working and flushing out dead cancer cells and the toxic chemo drugs. I like to add lemon juice. It's not easy to drink that much water and it requires a lot of peeing but I remain fairly healthy and it's part of my treatment. A positive attitude is proven to help along with a Spiritual Connection with a Higher Power. I stay socially involved with other patients on this forum and their treatments- working, not working, side effects etc. I have my bad days emotionally too, especially before and after treatment and before doctor visits. I am thankful for treatment that is working. John

Hi John,
A year of chemo!!! Oh my! I too have bile duct ca and they did a MRCP , MRI, Chest CT scan and a bunch of labs.
My tumor markers are elevated.
So are they or have they done a resection? And is Mayo doing the Chemo?

I can’t have a resection as I also have cirrhosis from Hemochromatosis, Polycythemia, and NASH.
Do you see the oncologist and the Transplant teams? Or just one of those groups.
I do wish you well in you journey.

James
