To meredithdochniak1
I was told by my Tucson doctor that I had inoperable bile duct cancer and that I had 2 months to maybe 2 years to live and that I was too old (71) to get a transplant. That it would be chemo and radiation until I couldn't take it any more. My friends and the nurse practioner knew I was too vital and engaged in life to accept that diagnosis so I reached out to Mayo.
After 6 months of testing, chemo, radiation, stents and surgery to see if cancer had spread, I am now 73 and celebrating my 1st year transplant anniversary in 10 days.
A second opinion especially from Mayo can help you and your father see better into his future.
