What to say ?
I am lost.
Depressed and anxious.
Any help most welcome
Hi and welcome to the community though sorry to hear about your mum.
Any cancer diagnosis is a real challenge so your reaction is not unusual. I know I found it very hard in the early days until I did a living with less stress course. I came to realise that I was spending lots of time worrying about how I would cope in the future and that it was stopping me enjoying the time we had together.

Hi Lucifr,
My heart goes out to you and your mum. My husband also has bile duct cancer which is inoperable. Diagnosed 11 months ago, he has had chemo which initially shrank a couple of his tumors but following an 8 week break due to a picc line infection tumors began to grow. He has had one cycle of a trial drug but this has now also been stopped.
There is a very I informative Facebook group 'cholangiocarcinoma support group' which has links to AMMF a charity specific to be duct cancer. You will also find a link to a petition to raise awareness of this relatively rare cancer.
I wish you and your mum all the very best. Xx
