I was diagnosed in February and started chemo in April after a few false starts due to an infection causing a high temperature which the hospital could not identify. Eventually my oncologist decided to go ahead with the chemo citing that he felt the infection was an effect of the cancer itself. My cancer has metasticised to my liver (several small tumours) and I have been told is inoperable and incurable but is treatable. I am unsure what this means. Has anyone else received this sort of prognosis and how have you interpreted it?
I have just had my midway CT scan and await the results which I am told have to be delivered face to face by my consultant. I have an appointment on 13th July when I am hopeful I should know more about whether the chemo is having any effect on the cancer. I'd love to hear from anyone with cholangiocarcinoma and in particular any positive stories, if there is such a thing. I am frightened and confused. I never ever thought for one moment I would succumb to cancer. It has come as such a shock to me.
