Megin, It is not selfish for you to want your mom back. I feel the same way everyday about my husband. I just want life as I knew it. But, we live with hope because we need to and we live with laughter because it helps and we live with love and that will never leave us. I wish I could ease your pain. Hugs. Nancy
Megin,
My thoughts are with you and your mommy. Me and my mommy are fighting this same monster. I understand your anger.

Dear Megin – We all grieve losses and right now your mom being sick is a loss of the vibrant, loving person you call Mom. Don’t feel that you are being selfish. It is ok to vent your feelings and get them out (It gets really yucky if they stay inside.) Your mom is so young that it seems particularly unfair for her to be sick. The only thing I can say is that when you cherish each moment, make more memories, and hold each other close, you get the best of each other. I am so sorry for your pain. Please accept virtual hugs coming to you. Blessings, Susan
Dear Megin, welcome to our wonderful family but sorry you had to come. Also sorry to tell you everything you feel is normal! But, you have come to the right place to vent, ask or advise. Can you tell us what her prognosis is and where the cancer is located? Have you sought out another opinion? And why did she have to go to the Hospital now. You also may want to tell the Oncologist that you are concerned about her declining mental status. We are here for you so please ask away and please keep us posted.
Dear Megin,
Welcome to the site. Sorry that you have to be here and I am sorry as well to hear about your mum. You have nothing at all to apologise for and no, you are not being in the least bit selfish whatsoever. I too felt that with regards to my dad. He was diagnosed back in 2008 with inoperable CC and I was angry also. What you are feeling right now is so normal and we have felt that also.
It does indeed sound like your mum is such a fighter, and you are as well. I wonder if perhaps that it may be of benefit for you to ask a question of Dr Giles here at the site? If so, he can be contacted here and he has helped many of our members.

I am sorry that you had to join us, but you have done the right thing in joining in with us all here. We know how you feel right now and we know what you are going through. I came here back in 2008 when my dad was diagnosed and everyone here helped me so much, and I know that everyone will also help you as well. I hope that you will keep coming here and posting. Shout, scream, vent away. We know what it is like and we care.
My best wishes to you and your mum,
Gavin
Dear Winnie’s Daughter – You have every reason to be angry and feeling selfish right now…..this is your Mom and you love her! Feel free to vent here any time you need to…………best wishes and lots of hugs – Nancy
Hi everyone,
My name is Megin and my mom has cholangiocarcinoma. She has been fighting this terrible disease since April 13, 2009. She is such a fighter! I have been on this site several times browsing but have never joined any of the discussions, partly because its hard to talk about my moms disease an another reason is it makes it REAL! My mom has undergone chemo and radiation and has traveled back and forth to the cancer treatment center in Philadelphia for treatment. She is now in the hospital in jacksonvile and has been for the past 2 weeks and her mental status has steadily declined. I am hurting so much right now and it is hard to go to work daily and keep a smile on my face. My mom is 52 years old and i am so angry that all the years I thought we had may never be. I want my mom back….I am so sorry to be selfish. I just hate to see her suffering.
