Hello everyone,
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a diagnosis that can be scary for patients. This cancer in the bile ducts can occur without a lot of symptoms as warning and can have several different treatment options, one of which is liver transplant. Because this diagnosis is complex, we thought a blog post might be appropriate to help patients understand the types and treatment options of this liver disease. Check out the blog today, and let us know if you have information for your fellow transplant group members about your treatment and transplant for CCA.

Hello from the frozen tundra that is Minnesota today! I wish we had a warmer blog topic for you such as hot cocoa or fireplaces, but instead, today's topic is about education! Even before we started Mayo Clinic Connect for transplant patients, we have been working to educate transplant patients and caregivers through various efforts. In today's blog, you can review some of those educational resources and learn how to easily share that educational information with your friends, family and followers. Maybe you can read and learn with a cup of hot cocoa in your hand and a warmth in your heart!
Stay safe, friends!

@keggebraaten I woke up to an alarming post by a new member as of yesterday. It was an email notification that came to me of a new post to this discussion. When I clicked view or reply it was not here. I tried to copy it and want to paste it here:

This is Bunk. It needs to be flagged and reported. This Dr Mark is implying that he is affiliated with Mayo and Mayo buys kidneys! Can you or someone else get rid of this guy and his posts before some desperate member falls for this?

I reported this yesterday. I believe it's been taken care of already. It was very disturbing to see!

Hi @cehunt57, thank you for posting about your concern. Several members reported the post and it was removed within minutes of it being posted. The member has been banned. You'll also notice that I edited your message to remove the quoted offending post.

Thank you everyone for reporting the post. The best way to report an inappropriate message, when you have concern about a member's safety or query the validity of a health claim, simply click Report at the bottom right of the message. That expedites a message to the moderating team. Together we keep the community safe.

@cehunt57 I immediately went to it with the intention of reporting it but it had already been deleted. That was just very weird.

Thanks everybody for acting on this before I did. I saw it today 1/7/2020. I wonder how it made it through to my email notifications yesterday? 🤔

@cehunt57 You can report a post yourself, by clicking on the little flag on lower right of a post, and alerting the moderators of this forum. I also saw this post, albeit later in the day, and by the time i went to report it, it had already been removed.
Good job, everyone!

I just want to say how much I appreciate the moderation on this site. My daughter has been on an infertility forum on Reddit and had issues with them not being very helpful. Based on my experience here, I was able to suggest the Mayo Connect forums and she found the tone and supportiveness to be much better. I know it's a lot of work to moderate all this activity and wanted to let you know it's appreciated.
