Homeopathy for cholangiocarcinoma ??
My mother is undergoing GemCis chemotherapy for stage 4 cholangiocarcinoma (liver cancer) and completed 3 cycles and will start 4th cycle. She responded good to 1st three cycle but size has not reduced much and doctors have ruled out surgery due to complexity and suggested only pallative therapy.
Can we introduce homeopathy meds now and will it be safe with chemo? Can it help in curing the tumor or reduce the size as current chemo doctor is saying no to homeopathy. Please help as it is important to know if homeopathy can be of any help now or we should think later ?
She is feeling loss of appetite and has become weak in last few months due to sudden weight loss.
Chemo is ongoing these days as a treatment.

Yes homeopathy is very safe, can be taken side by side.
Cannot promise complete cure without seeing the whole case but it can definitely improve the quality of life by reducing the symptoms of the disease as well as side effects of chemo.
Make sure to take proper homeopathic treatment only and avoid wasting time on over the counter suggestion.

Surely homeopathy medicines can help for symptomatic management of the side effects of the chemotherapy and general improvement . But regarding tumor, it depends on the case. Prognosis may or may not be good. But for palliative support can be given.
Next Steps
Consult a homoeopath with all the reports and patient history.
