How To Cure Bile Duct Cancer?

I have my husband who has bile duct cancer and its in his liver now and the branches of the liver his numbers are now 5,300 how high dose it have to be before he dose not survive this. they said less than a year which im taking it to be 3 to 6 months at the most. just last week or so he started turning yellow again but it kinda lighten up. he has stents in. but, they said the cancer is narrowing the opening for bile to flow. and the stents will get blocked as well. his skin color dose not look good to me and he is having pressure and takes pain pills what do you think he might have left in months.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. I m fully agree with that. If she has bile duct cancer then your stent will gradually blocked by cancerous growth. Gradually it will cause obstruction and leads to obstructive jaundice. Life expectancy is not good. Treatment of choice is chemotherapy but despite of treatment prognosis is very poor.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
