Bile duct cancer New pallative diagnosis

I’m so sorry to hear of the problems you’re having regarding your mom’s care. Have the medical team clearly explained to you why a stent would not be effective, even though they suggested it in the first place? 

Mt dad was told he would be on palliative care due to his age (95) and the fact they didn’t think invasive, or chemical, treatment would be suitable. Is this the case with your mom? 

it’s an awful situation to be in but you must ask lots of questions and get a very clear picture of your mom’s condition and the prognosis . 

in our situation we found it much easier to cope and deal with it once we had all the information at our fingertips. Sometimes you need to be  relentless in gaining the appropriate information. 

i wish you all the best amd sending a virtual hug x

We sadly lost my lovely amazing strong Mum on Sunday evening

We are heartbroken, I was arranging to gather more information and advocate for her on Monday but sadly that was not meant to be

She put up such a fight, as did my Dad and I am so proud of them both

Thank you I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad 

Sending virtual hugs to you 

Violet, I have just joined this forum for support as my mum has bile duct cancer. I just wanted to say I am so sorry to hear about your mum. Sending you lots of love x 

My mum sadly passed away on January 2nd.  It sounds a similar situation to yours.  Procedures kept getting put off or going wrong.  I feel she was very let down by the hospital.  I had a second opinion booked with Professor Bridgewater for the day she passed away.  Keep pushing the medical team and try to get a second opinion asap.  Best wishes to you and your mum x

in answer to Violet did you have a Macmillan nurse you could speak to? You should have been assigned someone. You be able to have everything explained to you.
