Liver cancer
Hello Everyone,
My journey with a cancer just began. I'm 42yo Mam of 1 child. Working for many years helping people with disabilities...and now not being able to do much.
I wasn't feeling well since July 2024 and went through many scans, biopsies just to find out on Thursday the 3rd of October 2024 that I have cholangiocarcinoma, which is a cancer of the bile ducts in the liver with liver metastases also. In August they diagnosed me with PSC ( Primary sclerosing cholangitis). So on the top of PSC now I'm diagnosed with bile ducts cancer.
I never thought going through something like this.
For my whole life I was the one who was helping people, and finding hard to be the one who needs help.
Doctors gave me 12 months, but I'm not giving up.
I would like to tell you all.
It doesn't matter how much time they will give you.
We have to fight and believe that everything will be fine.
It's all about how we approach our diagnosis.
I know it's not easy, we are having good and bad days, but don't let bad thoughts to take over our positive thinking.
Stay STRONG and FIGHT.
Dear KatDK.
Thank you for posting on or online forum. I was sorry to read about your diagnosis of metastatic cholangiocarcinoma. No doubt, this is a difficult time for you and your family.
The emotional impact of a cancer diagnosis is often under-estimated, and it can be hard to transition from one’s role as a carer to needing help. I do hope that you are doing ok and getting the support that you need at this time.
