Hi Everyone,
My brother, David Hoskins, 39 years old has been diagnosed with Advanced Cholangiocarcinoma on Oct. 5, 2005. It had spread on his stomach lining and in his lungs. He had ERCP on Oct. 7th, had Laparoscopic surgery the following week and started his chemo on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1, '05, bi-weekly--Gemzar and Oxaliplatin. He went to work on Oct. 5, (feeling really sick the day before) so he went to the ER. At first, the doctors thought he had hepatitis but after running more tests and CT scan, they told him that he has cholangiocarcinoma, that same day. Life has been changed completely for his family since he came home that night! He is in the navy, stationed at the National Naval Medical Center, Bethesda,MD. where is being treated. His oncologists are from the National Institute of Health. He had CT scan on Dec. 20th and they said his cancer was stable at that time. Most of David's family are from Chatham, Virginia. I hope to give you more up dated information as soon as I can. Please let me know if anyone has any suggestions. Please pray that God will direct his path in fighting this terrible disease.
With Love
Barbie
