    Dear Exoaria, I am a Christian too. And I will keep you and your mother in my prayers. My sister was told 8 months but its been 13 months now and her blood work is very good and getting maintenance chemo now every 3 weeks and her Onc. Is amazed. We are now treating her ICC as a chronic illness. Don’t ever give up hope. I do believe it is very helpful to have someone to talk to and be on this walk with you and your Mom. A trusted person from church to pray with is very comforting. Come back here often and get support.

    Love and prayers,
    Suz

    I am so glad to hear that your sister is making it past the time she was told to live. I will keep your sister in mine as well, it’s a real blessing that she is moving through and may there be many more days to come where she gets on better. We will continuously go to church to get her prayed for, and we will all pray together.
    Thank you for your support and kindness.

    Thank you to Darla and Mary as well.

    We have an entire family of 10+ around my mum, she is in hospital at the moment with jaundice as we all gather around her and support her. She does not spend even a minute alone, there is ALWAYS someone in the room with her and we understand what both the gastro specialists and the Oncologists are saying.
    It’s just confusing when the Oncologists are saying something different to the guys in gastro.

    She has not started the chemotherapy yet, however she is in hospital with a stent waiting for the jaundice to leave. Then she can come home and start her treatment.

    Again, thank you for the kind words. Please keep her in your prayers.

    My mum has bile duct cancer, it’s “quite extensive” as the gastro specialists said. However the Oncologist seemed to be saying that it could be managed, and that she could live her life managing her illness like someone with diabetes. I don’t understand how those two opinions can both effectively be true. The cancer professionals with PhD’s are saying that she’s going to live a long and normal life managing her Cholangiocarcinoma however the gastro doctors are saying she has less than a year to live.

    I hope one of these miracles occur in my mother’s life. She is such a beautiful woman and I need her with me. I don’t want help yet, I don’t want to try and place logic on this situation – that’s what a professional will do. I want to have faith that she will be healed.

    Thank you so very much for your kind words.
