Suggest Treatment For Chloangiocarcinoma

I have cholangiocarcinoma. I am finishing my last cycle of chemo (gemzar/Cisplatin)in two weeks. Had 25 days of radiation in June. Would like to hold out on long term supplemental enzymes until my immune system recovers and the bowels learn how to work with what pancreas I have left from Whipple. I can experiment with creon now or wait a month or so. I am 60 years old, in excellent mental and physical state, and working at appreciating my cancer diagnosis. Unfortunately, I m spending far too much money now with a great team that is up in the Northeast U.S. and just wanted another, perhaps global, perspective on my rare cancer. Thank you for your time. You may know that I am well ahead of the curve in terms of recovery and tolerance of the regimen prescribed compared to most patients with this cancer. I just need to put this in a larger framework for now.

GOODMORNING YOUR TREATMENT SEEMS TO BE FINE. BUT YOU NEED TO BE ON REGULAR SURVEILLANCE AS CHOLANGIOCARCINOMA HAS HIGH CHANCE OF RECURRENCE. DO KEEP VISITING YOUR DOC REGULARLY FOR CHECK UPS.
