Bile duct cancer

Hi and welcome to Carers. I'm sorry to hear what you're both going through. I would suggest, given how worrying it is for you, that it's worth contacting the hospital PALS (patient advice and liaison service); it's usually near the hospital entrance, or of course phone, and they are very good at helping to get things sorted; at the least they might be able to explain what's going on and why. I completely understand what you mean about 'worry and concern';  it's hard to stay upbeat when things seem to be stacked against you, but I'd really urge you to contact PALS tomorrow to get some help and information. Your wife should have her own designated specialist nurse who can also help with information and support, if not ask about that at PALS and it's worth contacting your GP, if your wife has not already been referred to Macmillan, and ask him/her to refer her, then you'll have another line of support.

I often mention looking for local cancer support groups here as it makes such a difference getting face to face support. You might like to see if there's a Maggies Centre  near you as they run courses that are brilliant at helping carers to cope with the emotional trauma of caring for a loved one with cancer. I hope you find something useful here.

Thinking of you,

Thank you so much for the information you have supplied, I will look into this today.
