Hi. Where do I start? I am 48 years old with 2 kids (14 years and 12 years). About a 7 weeks ago I was having really strong wee which I put down to dehydration. I then developed about 4 weeks ago itchy skin, again i just put it down to the warm weather. It was only on the 18th July that I noticed Jaundice so got bloods done on the 19th. Bilirubin levels were 250 so not good. Hospital all day on Friday 21st for a variety of tests to tell me I had Bile Duct Cancer. I then had an MRI scan on the 27th. My consultation meeting is tomorrow
I want to know the next steps as I'm hoping that they can get in there remove what they need to and give me Chemotherapy to get anything they've missed. I want them to fight for me as I'm only 48
My biggest fear is they say what I don't want them to say - that an Operation is not possible. I have a wife and 2 kids and I'm not ready to leave them
Apart from getting tired more easily (but I think that is just from lack of sleep from the stress, worry and itchy skin) I have no pain or feel any different to what I was before
I'm not expecting any reply I just needed to voice my anxiety and fear for my kids
Much love to people going through a similar situation x
