When newly and suddenly diagnosed with bile duct cancer and due to age and general health surgery is not an option do people ever come home again from hospital?

  • Of course they do , you must seek expert help ,this is a very rare cancer and an aggressive one , are you able to walk are you in hospitals with complications? Have you seen an oncologist? 

  • It’s my husband. He can walk a short few yards. He is in hospital very jaundiced. This was all very sudden a week ago. They plan to put a metal stent in next week. They said it can progress quickly and age and health rule out surgery. Also he will probably be transferred to a hospital that specialises in bile duct cancer which I will have problems getting to. I am worried he might never come home again although I would always look after him.

  • I am so sorry to read your situation.  It will be tough for you that visiting will not be easy but it's so important your husband is treated in a specialist hospital.  Have you looked at the AMMF charity website, there is lots of information and I believe you can contact them for help and advice.  I hope you find support to help you visit your husband and he soon receives the best treatment plan.
