This blog documented Michelle McDonough's healing journey as she recovered from Cholangiocarcinoma, or Bile Duct cancer. Michelle was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in December 2008 and passed away on July 6, 2010. This page remains as a memorial to the strength and courage of this amazing woman.

Appointment tomorrow with Oncologist

Tomorrow morning, December 15, we have our first appointment with Dr. Robert Marschke, an oncologist in Fort Collins who specializes in gastric cancers. We plan to ask him to help coordinate Michelle’s care and help us sort through options, locate candidates for second opinions if necessary, etc. Since we expect to seek treatments in Fort Collins after the doctors at the University Medical Center create a treatment plan, we hope to have Dr. Marschke coordinate those treatments.

 

Dr. Marschke received his medical training at Baylor College of Medicine and did both his residency and fellowship at Mayo Clinic. He is highly recommended by several of Michelle’s Fort Collins doctors.
