Hi Mandy! Wow, have you been through a lot! My daughter, Lauren is the one with CC and has not been able to have surgery due to size and placement of tumors. I just wanted to pop in and welcome you to this site. What type of chemo are you on and how are you feeling these days? It must be difficult having three children to tend to. I am hoping the surgery has gotten rid of all the cancer and you will be happy and healthy after recovery. Please keep us posted as to how you are doing. Your comments will be helpful to others who will go through surgery as well. Thanks for finding us, but so sorry you had to.
All the best to you.-Pam
Hi there Mandy and welcome.We do have a few members from Australia here to keep you company.I think you have done pretty well,what hospital were you treated in? its good to know for any future enquiries we might have.
The treatment you have had sounds all good,what the future brings who knows but the surgery gives you a good chance
JanetMandy…welcome to our site. You have much healing to do; dear Mandy and I hope that you are recovering well. We have few reports on bypass surgery and those we do hear of are performed due to disease progression. But then again our forum is not visited by everyone. Either way I am hoping for others to chime in share their thoughts with you.
I am glad that you have found us. Please continue to share with us.
Hugs,
MarionHi Mandy and welcome to our remarkable family. Wow! Not sure but I don’t think anyone here has had the amount you had removed in one surgery. You are one brave lady! No one can tell if it is the calm before the storm as everyone is so different but I would guess not. I’m glad you have been reading our posts as knowledge is the best thing we can offer in fighting CC. I think daunting is a good word to describe your experience. As you know its late evening here in the U.S. but I know you will get lots of welcomes tomorrow. The best thing I can tell you is to be very strong, as your strength will get you through. Please keep us updated on your progress as we truly care!
Hi There. My name is Mandy and I live in New Zealand. I am a 39 year old mum of three. I was diagnosed with CC in September. I have had surgery and they removed My bile duct, a 5cm tumour growing on my bile duct, gall bladder, 8 lymph nodes, 70% of my liver and did a biliary bypass.
Fortunately the cancer had not spread beyond the Tumour and I am told they aggressively removed all the other bits as a precaution. I am currently on my second cycle of chemo, again Im told this is a precaution just in case some cells got loose and I believe they plan on doing another 5-6 cycles. I am so greatful to have found this website as I have not been able to find much information here in New Zealand. Is there anyone else out there in a similar situation as me? From reading alot of other posts so far I am thinking that I might sound pretty lucky…..or is this the calm before the storm. This whole thing is so Daunting. 2 months ago I thought I was as healthy as the next person, my how life can change in an instant.
