I received nothing I wanted.
I received everything I needed. By Aaron HoopesTo everyone who has posted thank you so much for all of your prayers, support and warm wishes. I truly am overwhelmed by everyone’s love and encouragement. I will be leaving Tomorrow morning to my brothers house about two hours away. I will be staying a week to help care for him but most important to spend time with him. I am so nervous because I know it will be really hard to see my big strong brother so weak. I saw him last week and he is no longer the same. He stares off into space a lot and does not speak. I know what the outcome will be but I also know that my brother is going to be free of suffering. I feel guilty to say that I’m looking forward to begin the healing process. Please pray for us while we support my brother thru his final journey. Thanks again and I will keep everyone posted.
Annie
Annie,
I am so very sorry to hear about your brother. And to have to go through this with two family members must seem unbearable. I wish you the strength to take this journey with your brother and wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you.
Hugs,
-Randi-Dear Annie,
I am so very sorry to hear about your brother. No one should have to go through this even once never mind twice. I wish you strength Annie and know that we are here for you.
Hugs,
Gavin
Dear Annie,
To have this once in your family is bad enough but twice is unimaginable.
Time really is precious and you are very much in my thoughts.
I am really sorry to hear this, Annie. We are trying to get the word out about CC, but it is a slow and difficult process. I had never heard of it before my daughter was diagnosed with it, just like the thousands of other rare cancers out there. I sure wish it were different. I can’t imagine having two family members that have had CC. That is the only thing I can think of that is worse than having one family member with CC. My heart goes out to you and your dear Brother. May he rest comfortably and free of pain.
Love,
-PamDearest Annie, I am so very sorry to hear this, as if once was not enough! You know by now that all we really know is that we know not much when it comes to CC. But with that said, I have seen many positive and new steps over the last 6 years. I know nothing can help you at this point except to try and stay strong through another nightmare journey and I so hope your Brother has a peaceful journey. Unfortunately you have been there and done that so no advise is needed from here. The good part is Mom is awaitng the arrival of her son! Sending mega prayers and thoughts to you.
Hello all.
It has been some time that I have posted. It has been a roller coaster these past couple of months. Unfortunately they have determined there is nothing left to do for my brother and have sent him on his way. I realize that’s a harsh way to put it but that’s how it feels. The oncologist will no longer be seeing him and has suggested he be in hospice care. My brother is so sad as well as all of us. They have given us about a month time frame. I’m so sad and I feel so defeated. I can’t believe how there isn’t hardly any attention to bile duct cancer some people don’t even know what it is!!!!! There has to be a way for more awareness. I appreciate everyone’s prayers and well wishes. I am so grateful to this site and all the support and comfort it has offered.
