Oh God! Today we have been told that my wife is moving from treatment to end of life care and will be moving to the hospice in the morning.

Its only just over 10 weeks since diagnosis.

She's 44

We have 2 kids aged 9 and 7 who we're going to have to tell

It's still officially Cancer of Unknown Primary, but likely from the bile duct and seems to have taken the Macmillan nurses and the oncologist by surprise as to how aggressive it is.

It's going to be a tough period.

    oh I am so so sorry to read this. I'd just put a reply to your other post and then I saw this. 
    it is going to be a tough time. In my previous reply I said keep talking with your children, what I didn't add was I lost my father when I was 3, it was a generation where not much talking was done of those no longer with us, but I as a child wanted to know all about my father. So just that if and when your children want to talk I think you will. You sound a very caring person. 
    Nothing I say will make things easier but I'm thinking of you and sending my best wishes ....take care
