My freind who is 53 male patient is going thru the second type of chemo
after standard of care failed.

His hands are severy swelledas well as his face. Any idea if this is
produces by the chemo or is it due to the disease? His bile ducts are
taken and Drs had to place stents.

His Ca19-9 marker was up to 4000 and went doen to 1400 after he started
the chemo.

Thanks in advance


Sorry to hear about your friend. It is impossible to make a diagnosis with
the limited information. Why not have him ask his doctor?
