Hi all, I am reminded this Thanksgiving, that 9 years ago Thanksgiving I was in the hospital with Pancreatitis after having the ERCP that confirmed my CC diagnosis. I didn’t think I had 1 year to live, much less 9 years and I am so grateful to be here. This board was a lifeline for me during my diagnosis, treatment, and for a very long time afterward. I was a moderator for a few years, but became overwhelmed after awhile and had to back off and become just an occasionally reader and contributor.
I will never ever forget the fear of initial diagnosis, surgery, chemo, and recovery. I appreciate every single day I have.
I hope I am a beacon of hope for people on this board! I still feel a bit guilty at times for my good fortune.
Hugs to all of you!
