Just joining the group. Finishing up chemo included in blind immunotherapy trial. It is unclear if it is working so looking forward to next steps. Stage 3B. Looks like it has invaded my liver. I have already had a liver resection.

Welcome to the community! The uncertainty after treatment can feel overwhelming, especially when results aren't clear yet. Many members here have navigated similar situations with ongoing liver involvement and found it helpful to discuss scan timing, potential treatment adjustments, and symptom monitoring with their oncology team. This community has valuable experience with various treatment paths for gallbladder and bile duct cancers - feel free to share what questions come up as you plan your next steps.

How many rounds of chemo did you do. I did gem/Cis/Durv. I did 6 rounds. When that stopped, I did Proton radiation.

I did the chemo and realized it would kill me rather than the cancer.

Hi, my husband was diagnosed with stage 3 cholangiocarcinoma in April. He did 4 cycles of Gemcis that did not stop the cancer; it grew in place. He was very tired on Gemcis and felt awful, also had kidney issues. They switched him to Folfox so far, one treatment, and he seems to have fewer symptoms. They will do 3 more, then test him. Any thoughts on what else he can do? We feel like they do not have answers on what will work. Thanks for any input.
