Request Support

CholangioConnect offers patients, caregivers, family members and friends the opportunity to ask questions and receive support from mentors who volunteer.

A diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer) can be both stressful and confusing.  Mentors volunteer their time to help patients and caregivers.  Volunteers are cholangiocarcinoma survivors, patients, caregivers, family members or friends of a cholangiocarcinoma patient.

Mentors may share their personal diagnosis and treatment experiences if asked. However, the volunteers will not give medical advice or assist patients in contacting medical professionals.

Information shared between mentors and patients concerning treatments, medications or therapies should be discussed with a physician.

Our mission of supporting the cholangiocarcinoma community does not stop when patients lose their battle with this disease.  CholangioConnect has a group of volunteers who have lost a loved one to cholangiocarcinoma and are willing to offer support.

Patients or caregivers request a mentor by completing a questionnaire on the CholangioConnect web page.

The Program Manager will respond to requests, then begin the process of connecting patients with a mentor experienced in cholangiocarcinoma who shares a similar profile.

The Program Manager will notify you by email when you have been connected with a mentor.

Your application will be shared with your assigned mentor who has received training in confidentiality.
