When we lose a moderator to the disease of Cholangiocarcinoma, we lose

Marion,
Those three, plus so many more! There were so many that helped me and Tom when we began this journey 4 1/2 years ago. They are all gone….. I feel so sad that it’s hard to come on here any more. We constantly have new members but I feel bad that all of these new people will never know Jeff and Peter and Kris and Teddy and Kristen and Jerry D. and Caroline and on and on. They all had so much experience and wisdom and wit to share and they did so selflessly. It really seems hopeless… this cancer is a monster. I’ve had experience with other cancers that can actually be “cured” and people can rest easy that it won’t return. I don’t think that’s possible with this one. You always have to look over your shoulder and wait for the hammer to drop. Tom will be five years out from diagnosis in June and I just wonder every day when we will get the bad news. Every gas pain, bout of heartburn, nausea, chill, makes me think the good times will be over. I honestly don’t see how they can continue very long. This cancer is relentless. The Drs. have always said so and unfortunately I’m afraid they are right.
I’m sorry, Kris’s death has really hit me hard. I knew it would. It seems so unfair for so many beautiful people to die so young. There is no rhyme or reason to any of it…. just tears. Mary
