Pamela - Bile Duct Cancer (last thread pancreatic and liver)

[WilsonMilson]

Hi everyone, I’ve created a new thread as I am overwhelmed to see that the last one is full. You have all filled me up with your hope and encouragement. I’m keeping going as long as I possibly can!!

So pleased you started a new thread. Wishing you so much luck for Tuesday. Hope they manage t come up with a pain management plan for you.

What a beautiful family you have and you are radiant in all of those photos, I can see why you have made the photo albums as they are lovely photos and you can tell just from looking at them what a loving family you have. My grandfather had lung cancer and I remember him as he was when fit and healthy, not how he was when unwell. Your son WILL remember all the good times he’s had with you but I’m praying you have many more good times ahead and that your next procedure goes as well as can be. Sending lots of light and positive energy your way xxx

Hi Pamela,

I couldn't read & not comment. Your posts are heartbreaking & I pray you make it through this. Sending love to you & your family. ❤️

You are phenomenal, fighting! Praying for you.

Read your threads tonight and was moved to tears, cancer is so cruel. Praying for your family 🩷 x

Hi Pamela,

I've only read your replies so apologies if this has already been mentioned, but there is a dedicated charity AMMF. There's a section on their website for patient support so it may be of some use to you.

I am so sorry for what you and your lovely family are going through. Your updates have really hit home for me, it's like as if this despicable disease follows a script when it ruins people. I wish you all the strength, peace and comfort in the world. FUCK cancer indeed.

Dear Pamela I hope you get some good rest tonight in your own bed x

Hi Pamela,
I hope you are getting a decent rest in your own bed.
I rarely post, but your situation has really touched me. My name is also Pamela, and it's rare to ever share real names on here (so Hi!) But your story moved me because I have an almost 17 year old DD, and can't imagine the pain you must be going through.
You've been amazing and inspirational. Kerr and Jacob will look after each other. But put every ounce of your strength into you now, and being fit enough for that stent. I've also seen a close family member recover from cancer having been only given a tiny percentage chance, and we'd all but given up hope. But they're still with us, and cancer free. Sending so many positive wishes x

I’ve just read your whole thread and the previous one and, like so many others, I am blown away by your bravery and openness. What an incredible woman you are. I have no words which are going to make this better and I wish, I WISH, that I did. My son is the same age as Jacob is and I was widowed at 33. In my deepest, darkest moments I have held onto God- shouted at Him, felt angry at Him, but then fallen into His loving arms. Sending love and prayers. xx

Read your last thread, Pamela. Not caught up here yet, but wanted to pass on my love and hugs to you. xo

Darling Pamela,
I'm reading, I'm listening, and I want to send you so much love; You are phenomenal, outstanding, and a huge inspiration. I wish you well, and am here, going no where....please know we are all praying and hoping for a good outcome. Stay strong X

Grateful that you started a new thread Pamela. I’m glad that sharing your experiences here is helpful to you and that feeling the love and support from so many MNers is uplifting for you. As always though, please don’t feel you owe us updates at any point. We’ll always be glad to read your posts, as and when you feel able to write.

So relieved Kerr has contacted the GP and that they have made a referral to hospice care. They will have the best drugs and are experts in managing pain.

Like you, I was heartened to read posts from folk whose loved ones have felt much better after the stent procedure and who have been able to go on to have other treatments or at least to have more time. I’m really hopeful that this can happen for you.

Sending you love and a hand hold. Hoping for some peaceful moments over the weekend for you. xxxx

I'm pleased you started this new thread Pamela. The photos of you and your family are beautiful.
Let comments about people improving during their cancer be an inspiration for you. You will see better days soon.

Good morning Pamela,

I'm so pleased you now have a hospice referral. No one should be allowed to suffer like this 💔 I'm praying that with with proper pain management, you will start to feel a little stronger and can have the stenting operation soon.

Such beautiful photographs of you and your family. Sending you love and hope from a tiny village in Northumberland.

Good morning Pamela, I hope you managed to get a few hours of peaceful sleep xx

Hope hospice can get your pain under control

Read both threads last night, you write beautifully. I pray you get the pain relief you need. Sending love from Liverpool x

Hi Pamela I've seen your previous thread yesterday and truly do feel for you.

You have a beautiful family. You've probably heard this before but no way do you look 45!.

I really do hope they are able to control your pain and give you extra time with your lovely family.

Sending all my love, support and prayers to you and your family. You are strong and you are brave 💪🏼🩵

Hi Pamela, thinking if you!
I saw you have an appointment with Dr Vass and just wanted to share how excellent he is in case it was heartening to you. My father has been under his care for about 4 years now when initially the prognosis was extremely poor. From our experience he is very responsive to his patients and his secretary will ensure he calls you back if you have any questions. He is extremely well regarded in matters of the pancreas/bile duct.
Sending you healing thoughts and will be praying for you and your beautiful family

Greetings and love from Surrey @WilsonMilson - Pamela!
Cor- you and your family are stunners.
Kind faces too. That's the main thing.
Your boy will be ok. He's known all these years of love from you. He's got a stockpile of memories and yes, he will miss you, but he'll be ok, and he'll know your love forever.
Thinking of you all.
Xxxxxxxx

Another one who has only just found your threads. I’m so sorry. You and your family sound amazing xx

I have never posted before but have been reading your posts throughout the night and they moved me to tears. You have been dealt a cruel hand and yet you are being so incredibly brave and selfless, thinking only of your family.
I hope they manage to give you better pain relief so that you can feel more in control of the situation.
Holding your hand and praying for you all xx

Another one delurking to say I am so sorry that this has happened to you and your beautiful family. Fuck cancer! Sending all of you so much love and strength ❤️ xxx

I'm almost your age, though I don't feel it inside, I definitely look it. You look bloody fabulous!
Just wanted to add my well wishes, I read the thread yesterday and I woke up thinking about you and your family xx
