    I’m shocked and saddened to hear that Jim has passed on. He gave me great support here – what a lovely, gentle, caring soul.

    Janis, my deepest condolences to you and your family.

    I’d like to welcome you to the CC family where you can be certain that we are hear to support you and Oli. The members here (many are from the UK) have built up a wealth of knowledge, which they share openly for the benefit of all. To get the must from this site, perhaps you could provide more details of Oli’s treatment programme, what chemo treatment he tried and the hospital he is attending. That way the members will be able to share their specific experiences/knowledge.

    Others will come along soon to welcome you and offer valuable information/advice.

    Take care

    Power to you girl.
    2.07 is a very respectable time for the half marathon.

    Good luck with the training.

    I’d also like to welcome you to the CC family where you will find lots of support and advice from patients and caregivers who have taken this road before you. Your story starts off as a tale of dis-belief, then despaiir and finally hope following the positive response from The Mayo. As Gavin wrote, you have done all the rights things by not simply accepting the first opinion, but seeking out various opinions.

    Good luck and come back often with details of Patrick’s treatment plan.

    That’s a great idea to revive this thread.

    I was treated for bile duct cancer at St Vincents Hospital, Dublin. My oncologist was David Fennelly and surgeon Justin Geoghegan (great guys). The initial diagnosis was CC but pathology following resection confirmed the diagnosis as nueroendocrine tumor in the common bile duct.

    i’m sorry your Mom has been diagnosed with CC but I’m pleased you found us. You will get great support here as you help you Mom in her battle with This disease. The fact that she is a candidate for surgery is good news as surgery is the only curative treatment – good luck on Wednesday. I’m not from the US but I believe John Hopkins specializes in CC – others will come along soon to re- assure you.

    Pain management will be looked after by the medical team and I would not worry to much about putting too many movies on the iPad – just be there for your Mum.

    Take care and come back often

    I’ve just picked up your post now and I wish to offer my belated condolences to you and your dear family. I feel for you as you grieve for your husband while at the same time care for your children and help them through a traumatic time in their lives. I believe that our capacity to deal with stress is limited and I am a strong believer is professional help. Have you looked into what services are available to you in Cork?

    Take care and come back often and tell us how things are going for you and the kids.

    Gerry
