Hi  

my dad recently found out that he had cancer in this area and had a stent fitted. He has had cancer now for 6 years and it has now spread. He was very poorly before the diognosis and pretty much stopped eating altogether, other than the odd bite of something. 
 

The stent has taken away the jaundice and he has been given some steroids to encourage his appetite. Unfortunaly like you'd mum, my dad has been given weeks/months. He is very comfortable and actually today seems very well! Much to our surprise and he is having sips of fluid and even manage one square of chocolate tonight! 

i don't know much about this cancer, other than it seems to be very fast acting and once it's found it's often too later for treatment. This is the scariest thing I've ever experienced. I'm 24 and hoped my dad would see much more of my life than this. But I am 100% focused on giving him everything he needs and wants (tomorrow I'm setting the TV up outside ).

it will be very hard when he isn't hear any more but I want to know I have done everything in my power to keep him happy! im sorry I cannot offer any advise, but you are not alone and it's soo normal to be confused/scared/angry. It's all such a shock and it is unfair. I just hope you can find some comfort in looking after you mum or supporting her however she needs you. 
 

please keep in touch!!
