surgery will be scheduled for sometime in January. No more chemo. Wife needs an EC PT, and a liver examination to insure that the surgery will not be wasted if it's metastasized throughout the bileary tree and the liver.

Doctor said that with the surgery the term of survival is usually 40 months provided everything goes almost perfect and no infections develop or other complications.

Without surgery and no further treatment the term of survival is 14 months max with the final 3-4 months being heartbreaking.

we are in shock to say the least.
