I've just heard my cancer had returned I was diagnosed with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma in 2019,o had a liver resection and 6mths chemo and was diagnosed as cancer free.

I found out yesterday it has returned,it has metastisied to my lung!

My world has fallen apart again.

I now face lung surgery within the next few weeks and probable rounds of chemo again.

It's such a daunting prospect 

  • Hello Tomp1

    I'm so sorry to hear that your initial cancer has returned in your  lung and that you're now facing further treatment. It's understandable that you may be feeling overwhelmed by the news and its implications. 

    I hope that you have a good support network of family and friends around you to help over the coming weeks and months. 

    If you feel it would help to talk things through with someone, you're welcome to chat things through with one of our team of nurses. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. I'm sure they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information, and support they can. 

    Keep in touch Tomp1 and let us know how you get on. We'll do our best to support you. 

    Best wishes,
