Bile cancer

Hi my brother has been diagnosed with bile cancer it's advanced but localised he's has a stent in but we think it's moved they are now going to put in a metal one,the jaundice has come back and he's been put on different antibiotics and is due to have the stent in a few days must I must admit things are moving quite slowly it's almost like no one cares like others we find it so hard to get our heads round it he's 60 and has a 13 yr old has anyone gone over the time that was predicted? My brothers been told 6-9 mths but another doctor who did the endoscopy said he don't even look like a cancer patient and was surprised my brother was told this.

  • Hey. So sorry to hear about your brother. Don't think too much about the time scale you've been given, my dad was given a short amount of time with bile duct cancer, he actually went into remission for 5 years. We did lose him eventually but he had good quality of life in that time. So you just never know.
