A very warm welcome to Cancer Chat ebcooper although I'm sorry to hear your mum has just been diagnosed with cancer.

This must be a very tough time for you both, but I hope this information we have about cholangiocarcinoma will help you get a better understanding of the type of cancer your mum has.

According to our website, there are actually no UK wide statistics available for bile duct cancer survival, which may be the reason why you are getting mixed results when trying to research this. If you'd like to discuss this further with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all they can to answer your questions about this and anything else that you'd like to know or find out about cholangiocarcinoma. 

I hope the information I've provided is useful and that you hear back from some of our members soon as well.

Kind regards,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
