Hello I'm Joe from Newport South Wales
I had an operation in November 2024 in which my gallbladder was removed and small tumor excised from my liver which has now regenerated. I was given 6 months chemo in tablet form as a precaution. By the end of 2025 I was given the all clear. However a scan in January revealed that the cancer had returned in the liver. I'm now on my 6th cycle of immuno and chemo therapy. A recent CT scan showed that the chemo is working and the cancer has not spread!
Best wishes to you all
Hi Giusr
Welcome to the MacMillan community. I am one of the Community Champions and would like to give you a bit more information to help you navigate the site.
We have a number of cancer type specific and cancer experience specific forums. In addition to this Bile duct cancer forum we also have a Living with incurable cancer forum - patients only and a Secondary liver cancer forum which may be of interest to you. To join, click on the bold text. I am a member of both of the latter forums, the former is a lot busier than the latter and has several people on it who have or are being treated with immunotherapy.
It’s really good news that the immunotherapy and chemo is working well on the secondary cancer in your liver. I also developed secondary cancer in my liver from a triple negative breast cancer primary. Immunotherapy and chemo worked well for me too - pembrolizumab plus NAB-Paclitaxel gave me a sustained remission, albeit with a number of complications on the way. I really think modern immunotherapy drugs are a game changer giving many of us significantly better outcomes than would previously have been possible.
