To Joyce and Cherryle thank you for the comforting words. I only found this site a few days ago and have been reading all I can, while it gives great information and support, I am saddened that so many are going through this and so many have lost the battle. We go tomorrow for our first stent placement and and next thursday we go to shands hoping to get some better news, the cancer is in now in the portal vein and I haven’t seen too much that can be done in this stage, but I am still hopeful.
TinaI am not ready for the road ahead. My mom was dx’ed on 8/8/07 my birthday w/cholangiocarsinoma, I am doing all I can to set appointments and and obtaining and much info as I can, she is not a surgical candidate at this time as it has spread into the portal vein. I am so sad my 5 and 2 year old live for their NONNA, as she does for them and my 11 year old niece It breaks my heart to think she will not see them grow up. For brief moments during the day I forget about the dx, as I do about life and care for my children and my mom and then it’s time to drain her biliary tube, disp. meds, or make another Dr. appt. and I relive the nightmare and begin to grieve all over again, I have been very strong infront of my mom but the minute we are apart I can’t stop crying.
