Cholangiocarcinoma - Bile Duct Cancer - anyone else dealing with this?

2nd opinions are good. Even though I’m in the middle of my journey, my husb & I are getting “things in order” like we really should have before my diagnosis. We daily turn towards God for strength and love every day thankful to get a chance to spend time w/each other & our kids and grandkids. Don’t waste too much time being angry. You aren’t in pain right now, so make the most of your time. Mayo has been good for us, glad we went to them for our 2nd opinion. Remind your wife that we all have limited time in this world, so make the most of what we have and get ready for the afterlife. Once I reconciled all this with God, I’ve had waaaay more peace.

Thanks your words are encouraging. I have given up on guessing the
timetable and got over myself in terms of fear over dying.
but am lucky my pain level has been low but that may change
Need to schedule time with friends and family
Building my spiritual self up is my top priority
Every year I attend a men's silent retreat in Minnesota for a 4 day weekend
on spiritual exercises of st Ignatius of loyola.
Jesuits are great teachers and I will focus on doing the work Journaling
and reflectiong but also have some one on one time with confessor and
counselors.
. I leave there Sunday night and start my appointments at mayo on Monday so
I will be prepared to continue this journey .
Thank you and stay in touch, I think we are good for each other.
I prayed a rosary for you tonight and will continue this at 730 each
evening. I find myself praying more for others now than ever before.
I will pray your pain is manageable and that each day you get stronger in
fighting this disease. Bless you and your husband
Bill
