Regarding recurrence of tumor
In December 2021, my father was diagnosed with Bile Duct tumor. He underwent Whipple surgery for the same on January 2022, where the doctor said that the tumor is a non cancerous tumor. However, he also said that there are chances of its recurring within the next 5 to 10 years. Post this, he was administered 6 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy and given medicines. This ended in June 2022. After this, the doctor said to come for review once in every 3 months. During these reviews, ultrasound scan and blood tests were taken and everything was declared normal.
On January 2023, the doctor asked for a CT scan and confirmed that everything is normal, after which no further appointments were needed.
Till August 2023, everything seemed to be fine.
However, for the last 1 month, my father is complaining of a sharp pain in the liver area, which occasionally comes and goes. Also, when he lies down on his right side, he feels a sharp and shooting pain at just one spot in the liver. Your advice?

If your father has already undergone Whipple's Operation then there is no further surgery which can be offered.
He should preferably be seen by the same team of Doctors who operated upon him. Or else you should consult in a Medical College , Department of Gastro Surgery .
A General Surgeon or a Gastro surgeon may not be able to offer much help.
