Try IP6. It’s harmless, and has a reputation for stopping cancer from spreading.
It does sound bad - I have a friend who’s a survivor of gallbladder cancer, which usually doesn’t happen but hers was found early b/c of GB surgery.
At any rate, her care was at M.D. Anderson and she was very happy with them.
The chemo left her with pretty bad neuropathy in her feet.
Where does your friend live?
Very sorry to hear about your best friend. I’m 83 and living on borrowed time. I’d do it all again but me and the good Lord has a date. I prefer to call it my great re-set.
GOD BLESS
Prayers for your friend.
My advice FWIW is for your friend to get the best doctors he can find, multiple opinions etc. That may be what your friend is already doing. I hope so.
Seek professional help for serious medical conditions rather than advice from anonymous posters at a chat site. I wish him well.
I’ve been living with a mass on my liver that is cancerous for 5 years. I decided not to have the radio embolization. I have an MRI every 6 months and so far no growth. It even shrunk 1 time. I know it sounds crazy but the procedure is invasive. I hope your friend makes it. Just pray. It can’t hurt.
I’m so very sorry. What a heartbreaking diagnodis! This drug claims to be helpful in cases such as your friend’s, but ONLY provided he has the Mutant IDH1 variety (which he may not):
“NCCN Guidelines® recommend ivosidenib (TIBSOVO) as a subsequent line treatment option for unresectable or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma with an IDH1 mutation following disease progression.”

Here’s my experience. The people who know or work with this person will stop seeing or communicating with him. It’s as if they feel death is contagious. Make a regular contact with him, like every Thursday. He’ll have something to always look forward to. Phone if you’re not in traveling distance, in person if you are. Tell his wife or care giver when you’re going to visit so they can go do stuff, like visit a barber or do the grocery shopping or just get some time off, as caring for someone is exhausting. Just say hello and have some non-death or illness conversation prepared if he doesn’t want to talk. (TV shows, books, the latest news, etc.) Otherwise, just listen to him talk and try to understand what he’s feeling.
“”Apparently, this is relatively a rare cancer, 85,000 die a year worldwide, which doesn’t sound it, but actually is pretty low.””
Can’t say I’ve ever heard of it but if it has something to do with the pancreas, it could be bad. Hope he and you can come up with some help...It’s probably not unknown to the companies that you mentioned.
Los Angeles has lots of resources. City of Hope is highly regarded. If he can find an oncologist who specializes in that type of cancer, that will give him the best chance, as they will have access to more clinical trials and will be most up to date. Medicine is making amazing progress on the use of immunotherapy in cancers right now, though I don’t know if they are using it on gallbladder cancers.
My wife was diagnosed stage 4 melanoma with spread to her brain in 2017. She is now cancer free thanks to immunotherapy and a melanoma specialist at Cedars Sinai. 5 years earlier and she wouldn’t have lasted 6 months.
Pray and offer positive support and find a doctor who thinks rather than has been programmed. My wife, her sister and every familial offspring including our great-grand kids inherited a nasty cancer generating defect called Lynch Syndrome.
My wife contracted stage III colon cancer at 39. Uterine cancer at 44. She’s going to be 79 in October. Her sister has had multiple bouts with colon cancer and now our kids are starting to develop cancers too even though they are under medical surveillance and have been since becoming adults.
As you can see, cancer is terrible and it scares the Hell out of everyone around the person, but not everybody dies due to the cancer diagnosis. Prayer, solid support and good medicine can make all the difference. God Bless.
Is he former military that may have spent time at Camp Lejeune or one of the burn pit countries?
is it metastatic?
Prayers for your friend 🙏
If cancer loves to feed upon sugar, then stay away from sugar and foods such as bread which will convert into sugar. Whole grain rice is listed as a beneficial food for those with cancer. White rice is useless.
I’ll just post there here. I cannot speak to it, I heard about it word of mouth a few weeks ago.
It’s natural supplement with powerful anti-cancer properties.
Here are the National Institute of Health Peer-Reviewed Studies on it.

So very sorry
