Hi Kate,
I was moved to hear that you lost your mum to CC, and then your dad the following year.
I am also from Sydney, Australia. I have a loving wife and 3 beautiful kids.
I was diagnosed with CC and had surgery in November 2009 to remove my cancerous common bile duct and gall bladder.
I am currently in the middle of a 6 month chemotherapy stint as I had a few lymph nodes in that area with traces of the cancer. But everything appears to be progressing well for me.
I just wanted to give you some local support. All the best.
TK
