    I developed pancreatitis last year from my first ERCP I had. Am a bit scared to go through that again plus my husband is retiring soon and I have no idea about insurance for myself yet. Those procedures are so costly. I also have fibromyalgia, PTSD and IBS so working has become just impossible. Thinking about applying for disability.

    Does anyone know what percentage of risk the anomalous pancreaticobiliary junction (without cyst) adds for biliary cancer? I also have IBD which I’ve learned is another risk factor but would also like to know a percentage there if possible.

    Thanks to you all!

    Thank you so much! I logged onto the Oncology Nurse Advisor and read today’s article. It’s very encouraging to know that a urine test for this cancer may be coming along soon. : )

    Well….Its August 14 and I thought I give an update…….We lost my sister on July 27. Cholangiocarcinoma is one mean and painful disease that I hope no one ever has to endure. I was with my sister the last 3 weeks of her life and it was terrible the pain and suffering she had to go through.
    I pray that a cure is found soon………We asked for donations be sent to the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation to help with research. My heart goes out to everyone with loved ones with this terrible disease.
