Bile duct cancer - my journey so far. Everything seems to be a waiting game

Good afternoon 

I was diagnosed with bile duct cancer after investigations in may, 

I’ve have had 2 stents fitted which has corrected the jaundice and other issues. 
I’ve had 3 biopsies all non conclusive so they won’t give me a written prognosis.

unable to work as an engineer due to tiredness and meds.

have another biopsy due 18th August.

struggling to get insurance payout due to lack of written diagnosis

seems to be a constant waiting game 

  • Hi Scarver and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry to hear you were diagnosed with bile duct cancer earlier this year and you're now in the rather frustrating phase of waiting for further tests to get more conclusive results.

    I and the rest of the Cancer Chat community will have our fingers crossed that it'll be 4th time lucky with your biopsy next week and you will finally be able to get the information needed to get everything else moving forward.

    Hopefully some of our members will stop by soon to offer their support and advice but if you'd like to have a chat about any of this 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 and address any other concerns you may have at this time.

    We're thinking of you Scarver, and will always be here when you need us.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
