A member asked:
Can there be a treatment for bile duct cancer if the doctor says they can't operate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bile duct cancer: Yes; 1. You can play. 2. You can put a stent in to keep it open or 3. You can put a drain in so bile comes out in a bag. But discuss with your Dr who knows you best. Good luck. If it is you you are talking about i would take care of everything you need to take care of soon. But as Yogi said its hard to make predictions. Especially about the future.
