Thankyou for all your kind words, and it is good to know that there are people as close as Australia to talk too!
I was operated on in Christchurch Hospital by an amazing surgeon Mr Saxon Conner. I have been told he is extremely good in his field and I found him to be fantastic. I do Know he decided to take the aggressive approach as he felt that considering my age and health, I had a good chance for a cure as the only cancer found was in the Tumour itself, I think he decided to take the whole bile duct and do a bypass because it was blocking the bile duct. I am currently on cisplatin and gemcitbine, which seems fairly standard?
