Dear Michelle,
I am so sorry to read your post. I know the pain you are feeling right now, my own beloved Dad died 7 weeks after his diagnosis last June…..
Sending you strength and peace as you face the next few days and weeks which will be tough as you adjust to the changes and face your loss.
Please accept my sincere condolences to you and your whole family.

Hi Andie,
I have only just seen your post and want to pass on my thoughts to you. I am so sorry things have changed so much so quickly.
I think with cc it very often twists and turns in ways the Doctors and professionals don’t expect.
I read your post about your Dad aplogising for the fact that the tumour had blocked the stent and it took me back to wehn my Dad first got his diagnosis in May 2009, that was what he said to me…. I’m sorry….
I am sending your strength and peace, I do understand the feeling of despair and helplessness. It was so hard to see my strong, capaple Dad feeling vulnerable.
Your Mum will find be OK, I thought my Mum would never cope with what she did. She has you by her side which I am sure both your Mum and Dad are grateful for.
Fingers crossed the PDT is approved.

Kimmie,
I would like to join with the others in sending my deepest sympathy to you and your family.
I know exactly how you are feeling right now, 15 months ago yesterday I was were you are. The day my beloved Dad took his last breath here on earth.
I hope that strength and peace wil be with you all in the days and weeks ahead, and yes I believe you will be back in the months ahead to gain the support of us all here on the board.
Now is the time to take care of yourself, your job is done and how well you have supported and cared for your Mum….
With love,
Katie

Sending you strength and peace as you spend what time is left before your Mum begins her next journey.

Hi Matt,
May I be the first to welcome you to the board and hope you find as much support, friendship and advice that I have.
I am so sorry that you have had the need to find us but there really is nothing around on the net to beat the resources and wealth of advice, experience and help that people provide.
My Dad suffered from cc but sadly is no longer with us. He had resection surgery last June but unfortunately never made it.
Firstly you survived one of the most major surgeries a human body can be put through and that is a massive plus, alongside that you are young and strong.
Can I ask whereabout you are having your treatment?
There are people on this board undergoing chemo currently so they will be your best support. Also at the top of the page are tabs and a search engine that if you put in your query there is a wealth of info.
Wishing you all the best for Monday and come back and update us.

Hi dlbonder,
I would just like to add my welcome to the board along with everyone else.
I cannot comment on chemo as like Gavin my Dad too wasn’t a candidate for it.
Instead he went forward for a liver resection but sadly this failed,
What we always say about cc is the only thing we know is that it certainly has a mind of it’s own and generally doesn’t follow the path the ‘experts’ predict.
Have you sought a second or even third opinion?
Thinking of you as you make your decisions, please come back and let us know how you are doing. Sending positive thoughts and strength.
Katie
Minnie,
Just to say how sorry I am for you and Karl that the surgery has been cancelled.
I know how much stress this will have caused for you both, hopefully the oncologist will have a different plan of action.
Sending you strength in your journey….
Katie
Hi wwemerald,
Welcome to the board, like the others have said I’m sorry you have had to find us but we are a friendly, supportive bunch and there are lots of other support areas on the top of the page, they appear as tabs that you cna click on.
My Dad was diagnosed last year but went straight to surgery and didn’t have chemo so I cannot comment on that. I think from what people on here say just do as much as you can on the days you feel good…. Don’t feel bad about ‘leaning’ on family and friends as I am sure they can sometimes feel helpless.
Wishing you strength on your journey, please come back and update us.
Katie
Hi Kris,
Hope things went as well as could be expected for you today and the nausea hasn’t got to you.
Thinking of you,
Katie
Dear Michelle,
Sending positive thoughts your way. I know how tough this is for everyone involved, look after yourself.

Dear normaalicia18,
Welcome to the board, I’m sorry to hear about the bad time your Dad has been having. As Marion said the shock of the diagnosis of cc is huge and knocks you for six. But then you find a strength to carry on and fight, it sounds like your Dad is a determined man….
Whereabouts is your Dad being treated? Has he sought a second opinion at all?
Please keep us informed and come back here for support and advice, we are a friendly bunch!!
Katie
Hi Rick,
Just to say hope you and Cindy have a ball. I have been to Atlantis but just as a day trip whilst we were on a cruise that docked for the day in the Bahamas.
It was fantastic!!! Enjoy
Katie
Dear Dawn,
May I join the others in welcoming to the site, here you find support, guidance and answers from those of us who have been touched by cc in one way or another.
I cannot add anything new to what the others have suggested, I woul advocate gettting the hospice outreach nurses involved as pain management and symptom control is a priority for your s-i-l right now.
Please keep us updated on her progress, Best Wishes,
Katie
