Radiotherapy for bile duct cancer

Hi all. My dad has had two weeks of targeted stereotactic radiotherapy that completed two weeks ago. He's been tired but ok until now. A little pain from his diverticulosis. However as of today he has started with a temperature, more pain and can't get out of bed. Anyone experienced this treatment and know if this is a normal side effect?thanks 

  • I really hope your dad's situation has improved since you made this post Littlegrund but if nothing has changed, or has got worse, it would be best to get in touch with someone from his cancer team as they will be in the best position to advise.

    Hopefully some of our members who have had targeted stereotactic radiotherapy will be along soon to share their experiences and advice, but if you'd like to discuss this further with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all they can to answer your questions and put your mind at ease.

    We're thinking of you Littlegrund and hope your dad starts feeling better soon.

    Kind regards,
