    Dear Lainy,
    Thanks. I’ll try to figure out how to repost as a new member. I’m new at this. Dad was diagnosed with Cholangiocarcinoma affecting 2/3 of his liver. He has spots on his lungs and cancer has also shown up in his shoulder. He is going in to MD Anderson for biopsies next week so we should know more by then. They have already told him that it is inoperable and incurable. The method of treatment has not been suggested yet.
    Thanks,
    Ellen

    Dearest Melanie,

    I was drawn to your posting. This is my first day on this website. My dad was diagnosed with CC just 3 weeks ago. It is inoperable and the doctors are trying to decide on the order of treatment. At first I thought, he’ll be treated, go into remission, and live several more years. Now I am not so sure. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I totally relate to your living in the process and thinking that he’s going to get well. I think that is what I was doing. I’m grateful for the reality check so that maybe I’ll say more now and not save it for later. Thank you so much for sharing yourself.

    Lots of Love,
    Ellen

    P.S. I hate when people say things like it was God’s will. I don’t agree. There are crummy diseases in the world and this is one of them.
