My wife was diagnosed with Cholangiocarcinoma in October this year and she is getting chemotherapy and immunotherapy. She is having a hard time with rashes all over her body and the fatigue from the chemotherapy the doctor has to stop the chemotherapy for a month before the next chemotherapy cycle. I’m very interested to find out from other patients if they experienced the same side effects from chemotherapy. Also love to hear any successful treatments for the late stages of Cholangiocarcinoma.

Welcome, @philomenacheung. I'm sorry to hear that your wife is having a hard time with chemotherapy and immunotherapy. I suspect the immunotherapy is the culprit for the rashes. That is a know side effect. Is she on pembrolizumab (Keytruda) or another immunotherapy?

Since this discussion's focus is on radiation, would you mind repeating your question in this discussion:
