Thanks Percy. I would take my mum out for Mothers Day on Sunday, but Mothers Day here in the UK was in March! Dunno why it is different to you guys over on your side of the pond as I think that Fathers Day is the same day for us both. Weird!
Take it easy Percy!

Hi,
Thanks ,Eli. Thanks for your effort and quick reply, now is the time to spend more time with your wife; hope she regains energy by the day in time for a mother’sday celebration. I forgot, do you have any kids,Eli.?
Gavin ,don’ worry, I think the list is good enough for the new members who would like to learn about this disease in the condensed quick version.
God bless, say hi to your mum for me Ok. Take her out on mother day this Sunday,I know you will do so for a good son like you.
God bless all of you.Hi Percy,

Hi,Gavin and Eli,
Do you have any links of research articles about RADIATION treatments that I can add to the above message for extrahepatic CCA.
Thanks both of you,
God bless.Hi,gavin,
It is a lot of work to revise this threat,by I think it worth the time spent.
When I was new at this site,it was so confused as to where to find the info that was related to my type of cancer and the general knowledge of it.
i hope the new members will have a better experience.
as always,please say hi to your mum for me.
God bless.Thanks very much for this Percy!! I am sure that it will be of help to many people. Thanks again, and make sure that you are taking good care of yourself as well.
