Dear gracefull,
I would just like to send my deepest sympathy on the loss of your beloved Daddy…
Thinking of you and your family in the days ahead. Times will be hard but I believe your Dad is deep within your heart and mind.
Love to all of your family too,
Katie

So glad you have joined us and hope to get to red more posts from you and yoru lovely daughters.
Wishing you and Herb strength as you journey along this road with cc.

Susan,
I am so sorry to hear of Randy’s passing. Reading your account of his last day and your family all coming together reminded me of my Dad’s passing 18 months ago, 7 weeks after his cc diagnosis.
Wishing you peace and strength as you face the future.
With hugs,
Katie
Dear Fightingformum,
Just letting you know I am thinking of you and your Mum. Hope you manage to get some rest tonight and your Mum’s passing is peaceful when it happens.

Dear Candi.
I would like to welcome you to the site.
How amazing that your Grandmother got through the surgery so well, it is such a massive operation and that is her first hurdle.
My Dad had a similar operation 18 months ago at age nearly 73 but sadly his outcome wasn’t good and he passed away 9 days later.
I wish all of you much luck as you travel this journey with your Grandmother. Please come back and let us know her progress.
Katie
Jen,
What a lovely post. Thank You for giving us an insight into yours and your Dad’s world living with cc.
We had just 7 weeks from when my Dad was diagnosed until he died, nowhere near long enough. But then I’m sure we all must think that however, long or short.
Enjoy your precious time and celebrating your Dad’s 60th, what a celebration and milestone that will be.

Hi Sidig,
I would just like to add my welcome to you and understand the confusion and overwhelming feelings you will experience.
I cannot add anything to your questions, my Dad had a failed resection June 2009 and never had chemo or radiation.
Wishing you strength on the journey with your Mum, please come back and update us.
The support you will get will blow you away, I can promise you that!! Welcome….
Katie
Dear Cyndi,
Sending my deepest condolences to you and Linda’s family. How lucky she was to have a loving sister in law like yourself.
The next few days, weeks and months will be tough, I send you strength to carry on in her memory.
Katie
Hans,
Thank You so much for sharing with us a deeply personal account of Kris’s last hours. How privileged we all are that you shared what must have been a bad dream unfolding in front of your eyes….
Kris passed with dignity and love, without any invasive treatments or machinery.
Sending you strength for the days and weeks ahead. As I have said on a previous thread Kris was truly inspirational and I feel very lucky to have had a connection with her through this community.

Hear hear Marion,
To me ,Kris along with many others was a fantastic source of support in the early days with coming to terms with my Dad’s sudden diagnosis and death from cc.
She selflessly allowed her wisdom, knowledge and first hand experience to be shared so freely. How difficult that must have been especially as she got sicker…..
May she Rest in Peace with the other brave souls who have succumbed to cc.
Katie
Dear codergirl.
I am so sorry to hear of your Mum’s passing. I truly understand how you are feeling, my Dad died in June 2009.
As the others have said, be gentle on yourself, it will take time to heal, there is no time frame for grief, we are all different.
Thinking of you and your family at this time,
Katie
Today is a very sad day for us all on the cc board.
Kris was a compassionate, caring and hugely supportive lady. I shall miss her words of wisdom greatly.
RIP Kris….. Thinking of Hans, her parents and family.
Katie
This has shocked me since finding a post on facebook this morning.
I somehow believed that Kris would beat this ‘monster’…. Her fighting spirit and support and compassion for others was amazing.
Sending deepest sympathy and prayers to Hans and Kris’s parents, sister and whole family.
Her legacy will surely live on.
Rest in Peace Kris,
Katie
Dear Joanie,
Welcome to the board… I am so very sorry to read about the very rapid decline of your dear Mum.
I think the only thing we know about cc is that it has a mind of its own and takes hold very quickly. I lost my Dad 7 weeks after diagnosis, previously he had been fit and well and looking the picture of health.
Cholangiocarcinoma can have been present long before any symptoms are displayed.
All I can say it that at this time you are understandably feeling raw, hurting and angry and that is perfectly normal. You hardly had time to get your head around the devastating diagnosis before your Mum passed away.
It is sad that her pain could not be controlled in the hospice. I think the medical profession as a whole find this cancer perplexing and challenging.
I didn’t find this site until after my Dad had died but have found true friendship and support, I hope you find the same.
Thinking of you and your family,
Katie
