    Thanks Sarah! And welcome to the site. Sorry I haven’t been around here as much as usual these days, far too much stuff going on in my life at the moment.

    You sound like you have a very positive attitude and that will carry you far as you know, so keep on fighting and throwing these punches! My fingers are crossed for you for these good results and so hoping that you can start on these other more targetted treatments.

    Please let us know how everything goes, we are here for you and loads of positive thoughts are heading down to the gold coast from up here in chilly Scotland!

    Hugs,

    Gavin

    Hi Gavin,

    Thank you for all your information on here!!

    I have recently had a biopsy done, and the tumour cells are now being tested for DNA mutation, excited to see what they come back with. I have read a few cases where it appears that some people diagnosed with CCA actually have a mutation in the BRAF gene. Fascinating how it can be something completely different. Here’s hoping I get some good results and can start on more targeted treatment. I was diagnosed with CCA in February this year, I have just turned 39, and they told me that I wouldn’t see this Christmas, however I combine a lot of natural therapies together with chemo. I have mets to bones and lungs and liver is covered in a lot of very small tumours. I am determined to beat this, and will try everything possible!!
