How To Treat Bile Duct Cancer Developing Into Liver In An Elderly Person?
My 86 year old Mother has been diagnosed with Bile Duct cancer. It has moved into get liver and is inoperable. Her Doctor did not catch it in time even though she was loosing weight. She has taken the drug Actos for at least eight years for her diabetes. She is terminal. I have read that the drug Actos may be at cause. There is no cancer on her side of her family. We are all devastated by this because she has been healthy. Thank you.
