Bile Duct Cancer Tumor Ablated
My goal is to get this on U-Tube so I can add the info. on the Cholangiocarcinoma.org site to give others hope if removal of their tumor is not possible.

I was diagnosed with Stage III Bile Duct Cancer (Cholangiocarinoma) on September 11, 2009 at the age of 47 years old and told I would probably live 2-3 years at the longest.. The tumor was about the size of a softball and was unable to be resected (removed) because of it's location (in both lobes of liver and they thought it was attached to a main artery). I found an amazing doctor at Baylor Dallas who was aggressive but extremely compassionate who did a procedure that saved my life ~~~by the grace of God. The procedure was called microwave ablation (he actually disintegrated the tumor). The doctor who I highly recommend is Dr. Kuhn at Baylor Dallas. After the surgery and chemo, my scans are clear and I am feeling excellent. May this give you hope if you have been diagnosed with this cancer.
