Suggest Possible Treatments For Cholangiocarcinoma

Hello doctor,

My mother is having cancer. Please find the details below and advise.

Details :
--------

Here is the details of the problems and treatment done for my mother.

1. She reported itching,fatigue and jaundice.
2. She got admitted in hospital for treatment of jaundice.
3. Doctor did CT scan, sonography of abdomen and found cholangiocarcinoma.
4. Doctor has done ERCP and put sten on right side to reduce jaundice
5. Doctor has done CT guided biopsy .
     Biopsy report says :
     CINICAL :      CT mass involving liverlobe and neck of gallbladder (carcinoma gall bladder)      
     GROSS : Single core 1.5 cm (All)      
     MICRO IMPRESSION : Liver Biopsy : Metastatic Adenocarcinoma

Currently the bilirubin level is 4 mg/dl which was 10mg/dl 10 days ago, now the doctor has advised to reduce the bilirubin and come back after three weeks for further treatment for cholangiocarcinoma.

Currently my mother is very weak due to jaundice, we have not yet informed her about cholangiocarcinoma. We are not sure what should be good for her whether we should go for chemo or surgery since she is very weak.

Please advise us what should be the next step. We heard there are lot of side effects of chemo ,we feel that she may not have the strength for chemo side effects.Is there any good treatment in ayurvedic or homeopathy which will be good for her.

Thanks.

**     Since the said condition [cholangio carcinoma] is surgical, thus it is best to have your Doctor to look into the matter, what can be initiated is Dietary Regime in such cases:
1. Take:
. Cucumbers, Green beans, Sweet potatoes, Avocados, Vinegars [all types], Garlic, ripe tomatoes, lemon juice in the morning with hot water, apples, berries, papaya, pear.
. Vegetable juices - Beet and cucumber are especially helpful to gallbladder, avoid cabbage.
. Avoid all fruit juices except organic grape juice and organic apple: fresh, self-juice is best [ dilute with water before drinking]
. High fibre [fresh fruits and vegetables] and low fat diet [skimmed milk], hing, old brown rice, barley, horse gram, moong dal, ginger, green leafy vegetables, oil massage, boiled water,

2.Avoid:
. Eggs, Onions, Beans and legumes,Coffee,Oranges, grapefruit,nuts,fried Foods, Spicy foods,Chocolate,Ice cream, Carbonated water, Tap water, artificial sweeteners, sugar, preservatives, refined and bleached foods .
. Fried foods, urad dal, tomato, turnip, milk and milk products, constipating/heavy food, soda, alcohol, tea, potato, beet root, dry raisins, sour food, cashew nuts.
. Take 3 gm ajwain [carom] seeds and eat, thereafter drink warm water.
. Chew sugarcane pieces and keep swallowing the juice.
. Drink 1 cup spinach leaf juice daily for 1 month.
. Drink 1 cup of radish leaves for 14 days.
. Take 3-4 spoons of olive oil in evening with warm water or milk.
. Grind onion and extract 20 gm juice and to it add 50 gm sugar candy powder [mishri] and drink.

PS. Take vitamin-C-rich foods in your daily diet: like amla, orange, grapefruit, kiwi, cantaloupe, mango, strawberries, broccoli, red pepper, or tomato juice. [Since vitamin C is needed to properly synthesize bile; and deficient intake causes bile to become cholesterol-rich and increasing the likelihood of stone formation].
. Do check with baseline Investigations.
