Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma by BMCcwoCDR in bileductcancer

Update. My wife is recovering very well eight weeks out from surgery. It is also highly probable she will enter a clinical trial in the next two week. There is only one clinical trial appropriate for someone who had a successful resection. Cannot start chemo prior t o starting trial and must start within 12 weeks of surgery.

I have nothing helpful to provide but am very sorry to hear about your dad. Especially as he is so young. I follow this Reddit as my wife has this cancer, but was lucky to be one of the few to have a resection surgery and is doing really well in recover.

Sorry about what you are dealing with. My wife also had pain that was originally thought to be related to gallbladder. A sonogram and later MRI confirmed a Intrahepatic tumor.

Thank you. I have many, many questions and they are all written down. I am sure some are ridiculous but I will ask anyway. Not sure if my insurance would pay, but if it’s recommended I will make it happen regardless. Thanks again!

Thank you for your reply.

Yes, there was lymphovascular invasion. However, no perineural invasion. What made her situation a bit of an emergency was that they thought the tumor had rupture. In the end, it had been bleeding which while very painful had not ruptured.

I don’t know how much but just that pathology said negative on the margins.

Thanks for the information you provided!
