    Dear Susan,

    How very sorry I am to hear of your darling daughter Harmony’s passing.

    Thinking of you and all her family at this sad time, there are no words right now but please know you are in my thoughts.

    Stacey,

    Sending my condolences and thoughts to you on the passing of your Dad.

    It is nearly 2 years since my darling Dad died from cc and sometimes it feels just like yesterday but I know that I have come a long way from then.

    The days, weeks and months ahead will be hard, treasure your memories, your Dad is deep inside your heart and soul….

    Hugs,
    Katie

    Ken and family,

    My deepest sympathy goes to you all on the very sad news of Rick’s passing. He truly was a fighter and a great advocate for many people on this board.

    Wishing you all strength and peace as you face the future.

    Dear Terry,

    What wonderful news for you, like you said Wayne can now rest in peace and you can have peace of mind. Things have a way of turning out for the best when you least expect them…..

    Thinking of you,

    Dear lourdes,

    Welcome to the board, I hope you find the support and friendship I have. I joined back in summer 2009, unfortunately, my Dad had a failed liver resection and passed away. How I wish I had found the board beforehand, but hey, the support I have had since has been invaluable.

    I live in England and my Dad recieved his care in Florida, where he and my Mum lived so I cannot add any help on the hospital/specialist subject.

    Just to wish you strength on your journey ahead with your Dad.

    Please keep us updated,

    Katie

    Dear Ichase,

    Please can I just join the others in a welcome to the site. I’m so sorry to hear of your daughter’s diagnosis at such a young age.

    I do not have experience of NY hospitals, my Dad was treated in Florida, and I live in England

    Thinking of you all, please keep us updated,

    Katie

    Dear Pam,

    Just to say that I am thinking of you and your family today.

    I was just thinking driving home from work that it will soon be coming up to two years for us since Dad died from cc on the 28th June, what I struggle to get my head around is that at this point two years ago the words cc were not on my radar at all, in fact I had never heard of it……

    Hope that today passes for you and happy memories are shared with your family.

    Hugs,

    Katie

    Molly,

    Just to say I am thinking of you at this time. 4 months is no time at all, be kind to yourself, seek out the friends and family that make you happy and share memories of happy times with your Mum. No-one can take your memories away, as Lainy always says, ”Mothers never really leave their children”.

    Take care,

    Katie

    Hi Linda and welcome to the board, like the others have said I’m sorry you have had to find us but you will get support by the bucketload on here….

    Just to let you know that many people will be thinking of your Dad and your sisters and yourself as he heads back to MD Anderson for more investigations.

    Please come back and update us, I didn’t discover this wonderful website until after my Dad passed away nearly 2 years ago but the support, knowledge and advice is second to none.

    Wishing your Dad all the best on his journey with cc.

    Hi Ellen,

    I would just like to join the others in welcoming you to the site. I am sorry your Dad’s cc is in-operable but if you trawl through the search engine at the top of the page you will read many many stories of others told the same news and the treatments they had or are having….

    My Dad also had cc and was initially told it was in-operable but then a maverick surgeon said he could offer him a liver resection, sadly for us it was not meant to be and he died 9 days later.

    Wishing you strength on your journey with your Dad, please keep us updated.

    Rhoda. I am so so sorry to hear of your uncle Tracey’s passing so soon after diagnosis…..

    I was just going to welcome you to the site and say that I hoped we could be of support for you then scrolled down the page and read your update today.

    I hope that we can still offer the support that you need, incidentally I didnt find this site until my Dad had passed away and since then have found the most wonderful support and ‘met’ some of the nicest people.

    How lucky your Uncle was to have such a caring niece as yourself, thinking of you.

    Dear Melanie,

    Sending my deepest sympathy on the loss of your darling husband Barry. I think the speed that which cc works sometimes takes us by surprise….

    Wishing you and your young family peace and strength as you face the days and weeks ahead.

    Hugs to you all.

    Hi Mother25,

    Welcome to the site. I haven’t had any internet for a week or so so have been a bit out of touch with everyone.

    I looked to send you a personal message but wasn’t able to so will post on here anyway.

    I just wanted to say how many similarities there are in our stories. My darling Dad too was diagnosed May 2009, however his story was different to yours in that he had a resection but sadly it wasn’t sucessful and died 9 days later in ICU in Gainesville, Florida.

    I live in England with my family so know how pulled you are when you are nearly 4000 miles away, it is agony isn’t it? I am so glad you are going over to be there for your Mum as well as your Dad.

    In the end we were all together when my Dad passed away, no mean feat when we all lived so far apart. I too had important things for my family when I went over to be with my parents but you are doing the most important thing by going to be at your Dad’s side as things change…..

    Please keep us updated if you have time, I know how exhausting it is with jetlag and anxiety whilst being in the glare of ICU.

    Wishing you peace and strength as you face the days and weeks ahead.

    Hugs, Katie

    Dearest Andie,
