Kris – someone on this site reminded me that we are not just part of single negative statistic so assumptions good or bad may or may not important.
I hope today has had some light and laughter for you …. that was generally my initial approach …. I’m roughly ok today and that’s what matters…not getting carried away in either direction …
The good folks on here will be invaluable in supporting you along the way …. my only tip on using the board is to visit the Good News What’s Working threads regularly !
Malcolm:
Thank you so much for sharing your day and pictures with us. As one on the other end of the spectrum (newly diagnosed and frightened) it is heartening to see. It gives me hope that I will be able to achieve a “normal” life again. Of course, “normal” this time around won’t be so normal, but it will be filled with light and laughter and doing things on my bucket list!
KrisWell done Malc!! You are truly an inspiration. I’m so glad the weather was on your side too. As a fellow AMMF supporter, Thank You!! x
Malc….thanks so much for sharing the pictures. Indeed you are an inspirtation to all.
All my best wishes,
MarionThanks all.
I recall when I was first diagnosed that with careful selection Kate was able to find information on the internet related to cc that gave a degree of optimism for those around me that there was a chance of a way forward and that a whipples was surmountable.
The accounts on the Introductions Page are humbling and hard to read. My current place on the fortunate end of the cc spectrum is something that I reflect on daily but…..
I do hope that a percentage of others looking for a good news story gain from this post.
Hi Malcom,
Congratulations!! What a great journey all the way to the top! And thank you so much for sharing all of your pictures with us, it looks like you all had a great but tiring day!
Best wishes,
Gavin

We did it!
Do hope that the link works to give you an idea of a memorable day.
Kate….what a great day you had. It was a success all the way around. You must feel proud and so you should.
All my best,
MarionThank you so much Kate and everyone who joined Malcolm’s climb up Pen-y-Ghent yesterday in the sunshine – what a symbolic journey it must have been!
All of us at AMMF are delighted at the awareness that has been raised and, of course, with the substantial donations that are coming AMMF’s way – all of which will be used to fund research into cholangiocarcinoma.

To Kate and Malcom, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Joseph! Malc, I am so glad your hike went so good and you are living, awesome proof that there can be light in the tunnel. By the way just took myself to see, The King’s Speech”. FABULOUS movie!
Katja, How wonderful! Kudos to you guys! Thanks for getting the cause out there and known. So glad your Dad is doing so well!
Oh, and I am glad someone is getting sunshine and warmth!! Send some here please.

NancyHi everyone,
Just thought I should let you know that we made it! Dad’s AMMF fundraising page is currently overAll of us at AMMF are thrilled to have Malcolm join our stalwart band of fundraisers!
It’s wonderful news that his one year scan is positive – and that he is so determined now to help others with his fundraising efforts.
Thank you Malcolm – and really looking forward to those photos!
