Hello Nellie_1201
I'm sorry to hear that you've recently been diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma. It's understandable that you may have questions and be experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions at the moment.
Have the hospital team talked through the next steps with you? Are you waiting for more tests, or has a treatment plan already been discussed with you? We know that for many people, this period of shock and uncertainty after the initial diagnosis can be really difficult. It may help to talk with someone about how you're feeling, and I wonder if you might find it helpful to talk with one of our team of nurses. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm, on 0808 800 4040.
I hope that you have the support of family and friends around you Nellie_1201. Please keep in touch with us here at Cancer Chat if it helps to have a safe space to put down in writing how you're feeling. We're here for you.
Sending my best wishes,
Jenn
