bile duct cancer

No just know I'm being referred to Oncologist and should see her within 2 weeks

That's good. I saw my Oncologist after 2 weeks and then it took 3 weeks til i started my chemo.

Hi Cankerline, my husband has bile duct cancer and he has been on Urso for a good while, but recently has experienced severe itching which prompted his consultant to prescribe Colestyramine ... he has only been taking it for about a week and so far it has not cured the itching, how long did you take it before it started to work?

Hi Emanjay, I think it took about a week for itching to  decrease. I did get itching back again despite the sachets of Colestyramine so they have increased my dose a couple of times so I now take 4 sachets per day. Your husband could ask for an increased dose. I hope that works. Best wishes, Cankerline

That’s great thank you we will ask if he can up his dose.

Emanjay, I hope that works for your husband. Intense itching is horrible. Best wishes, Cankerline

Thank you, it is pretty bad, mainly his back and legs ... we keep putting moisturiser on his skin but this gives only minimal relief.

it is so frustrating being unable to see a doctor in person these days isn’t it, hard times.

Stay safe.

1. Try phoning to speak to your GP and explain how bad it is. Good luck, Cankerline

I also phoned my Nurae Specialist who backed me up. Cankerline
