Hi 105N, 

I am so sorry to hear about your diagnosis and that it is not possible to operate or for you to receive chemotherapy treatment due to other health issues. It's very hard to be told that you have less than a year to live but as you rightly say it is a very random timescale so try not to focus on that if you can as no one can accurately predict how long someone might live. 

There is information on our website on bile duct cancer which you might be interested in reading more about. I have had a little look on the forum to find others who have had this diagnosis before and found for example that NogBad posted this thread 7 months ago about being diagnosed with cancer of the ampulla of Vater. Luke1971 also posted this thread about ampullary carcinoma which you are also welcome to respond to if you wish. These are just a couple of examples and I hope that you will be able to connect with others here who have had a similar diagnosis and that they will drop by shortly to share their story with you. 

Best wishes,
