Sometime in late september ( I didnt write the exact date) I past my eighth year past diagnosis of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, and I am not a health guru or anything like that, I live a ordinary life and the only thing that seems to have really saved me was early discovery and a slow growing tumor. I am blessed with a supportive family and I had a good job with excellent health insurance and many good doctors and a ultrasound technician that called the soft tissue tumor in my bile duct “possible cholangioccarcinoma ” in her report, sending my doctors in the right direction right away.I had my liver and bile ducts resected in january of 06′ so my message is things can go well, you are your own advocate, listen close when any doctor or nurse speaks to you. More importantly, listen to your body, it will let you know when thing aren’t right. My life has been rather busy lately but I am doing well and my mantra lately has been to help others that life has overwhelmed. I hope to have more time for online activity this month and it is good to be back, Pat
