I am new to this website, my mother age 65, had a whipple 8-1, diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma stage 4, 5 days later.

It all started July 15, with itching and jaundice, I am in the stages of shock, and anger

My mother is at this time is not willing to try chemo if she will be very ill, she is a strong new yorker who believes in dying with her dignity.

This is very hard for me, because I want her try anything and everything she can to beat this disease, but I have to respect her wishes to do what she wants with her body.

I am scared of losing my mother, my biggest cheerleader, my biggest supporter, and I a feel for my 2 children age 10 and 12 who adore her. I just cannot imagine not picking up phone and hearing her voice.

Thank you for listening.

Seabee, my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. Sending many hugs your ways.
