    Dear Friends,

    I want to take this moment to sincerely thank you all from the bottom of my heart in helping out in anyway you can – advice and words of comfort meant a lot to my efforts to help out my mother. Unfortunately, she has passed us on on Sunday 2345hrs our time.

    I sincerely believe. apart from the cancer, she has also contracted septisimia and pneumonia which eventually succumbed her. However, from the report the doctor claimed she passed on due to advance cholangiocarcinoma. I doubt it very much because I saw my mum suffering in her breathing.

    Throughout this episode, I do agree with Jeff that an early intervention would have somewhat prolonged my mother’s life. Unfortunately it doesn’t seemed so.

    To those who are still fighting, my prayers goes out to you all and I hope a cure comes soon.

    Once again, Iris, Deb and Jeff thank you very much.

    Thank you Deb, Jeff.

    We’ve done all we could to keep mum comfortable. Today seeing her suffer, it hurts me so much that I couldn’t consume my anger for all the people around who are illiterate of the situation. I have never experienced something like this before. Therefore I would like to share my experiences with those who are newly diagnosed.

    A) Treat it immediately. No matter what the doctor says, get 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th etc., opinion immediately. Do not wait. As soon as one sends a reply take it. You never know what could be done to help!

    B) In this part of the world where I come from, send the patient off to a better medical facility – IMMEDIATELY!

    C) TLC!!!! TENDER LOVING CARE!!! Having cholangiocarcinoma isn’t a good thing. When all things fails, septic attacks happens! The patient is the one that suffers the most! A bit of TENDER LOVING CARE goes a long way to help one.
