Brief Answer:
She is in stage 3 of her disease and her cholangiocarcinoma is type 4
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I have gone through the reports
She is in stage 3 of her disease and her cholangiocarcinoma is type 4
Surgery is the only curative treatment at this stage
If she does not want to go ahead with surgery then treatment option consist of chemoradiation but for that bilirubin needs to come down to less than 3
Stent is not a surgery It will only help getting her biirubin down but will not cure her disease
