Hello Harry…..and a warm welcome from me also. I am glad that you have found us and please, keep us informed. We care.
All my best wishes,
MarionDear Harry – You have unwillingly joined a new, but very loving family, who understands the journey that you are on with your mom. Our hearts are with you and we welcome your postings, we look forward to updates on your mom, and we are here for you, as well. Blessings, Susan
Hello Harry and welcome to our wonderful family! Gem/Cis seems to be the cocktail of choice around here but like Gavin asked, have you sought out other opinions? We are great believers in that. You have come to the right place as you will find the most caring and knowledgeable people all right here from all over the World. Looking forward to hearing more about your Mother. Please keep us posted.
Hi Harry,
Welcome to the site. Sorry that you had to find us all but am glad that you have joined in with us all as you will get a ton of support and help from all of us. So please, feel free to ask any questions that you have and we will all do what we can to help in answering them.
We have an excellent chemo board containing many posts from the members here who have shared their experiences of various types and combinations of chemo, and indeed many of the members have and are on the Gem?Cis combo that your mum is on. Using the search forum function at the top of the page will throw up many discusions that may be of interest to you.
Did your mum seek a second or even or third opinion on her CC and what treatments may be available to her? From what you have said, it sounds like your mum has a lot of support around her and that is great, and you also now have a lot of support around you here. I look forward to hearing more from you.
My best wishes to you and your mum,
Gavin
Hi All,
Firstly thank you to all who organize and participate in this forum. It is full of helpful advice, information and inspiration for those of us who are in need of it. Which I am now as we found out a few weeks ago that my mother’s cholangio carcinoma has returned – non operable or curable. This was after a successful resection and course of chemo last year. She has started 3, 3 week cycles of Cisplatin and Gemcitabine and we are gearing up to deal with what comes next as a family. I will fill in some more information on her background and planned treatment on the correct board but wanted to say hello and thank you.
Harry
