My name is Tim and I’ve just had a diagnosis which has come as a massive shock as I’ve been told it is non operable and even chemotherapy at this stage may not be worth it so thought I join the group for support
Hi Tim TimL and a very warm welcome to the Community but sorry to hear about your diagnoses.
Navigating the cancer journey can be such a stressful and challenging time but getting support from people who have walked the ‘exact same' cancer journey can help a lot. (I have a completely different cancer).
The New to Community is like our reception desk where we look to try and direct you to the best part of the Community for you to get support. The Community is actually divided into dedicated Cancer Support Groups (Discussion Rooms) .…. but I do see that you have already joined our dedicated Bile Duct Cancer support group. This will be a safe place to talk to others with a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support.
To connect in with the group click on this link 
…… then once the group page opens you can introduce yourself by putting up your very own post by clicking [+ Create new post] or [ + ] in the top right of the group page.
You can copy and paste the text from this post into your new post.
You may also find it helpful to join our
Living with incurable cancer - incurable patients only
support group as you will connect with others walking this challenging road (Please join the group but for everyones safety this will then have to be approved by the Macmillan Community Team so will not happen immediately)
You may find it helpful to call the Macmillan Support Line open 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00. This service provides cancer information, practical information, emotional support, benefits/financial guidance or just a listening ear. We also have our Ask an Expert section but do allow 3 working days for a reply.
Talking to people face to face can be very helpful so do check to see if you have any Local Macmillan Support in your area, do also check for a local Maggie's Centre as these folks are amazing and give support to all the family.
Do get back to me if you need further help navigating the community.
Hi Dondons1234 abd a warm welcome to you. I was having a look at your post in our Family and Friends support group….. this is such a challenging time for you all….. I do hope that some clarity as to the way forward comes quickly.
You will see I have highlighted various other support routes over and above this community…. do get back to me if you need further help ((hugs))
