On February 13, 2026 I was given the words "You have Stage 4 Bile Duct Cancer". My world fell apart at that moment. My mind raced as I thought what about my kids, husband and family? Do I need to do chemotherpy? Am I going to die? Waiting for the appointment with the oncologist felt like it took forever even though it was a week later. She gave the same diagnoises. Stage 4 Bile Duct Cancer from the byopsy they took. She told me I had anywhere from 12 months to 5 five years. Bu 5 years is rare. It is a uncureable disease. My husband and I cried right there in the patient room. All I could hear is 12 months. I told my husband I can't die in 12 months I want to see the kids graduate. I have so much I need to do. It was earth shattering. Right now I do not feel like I have cancer. I did one treatment. My hair is falling out a bit but not a lot. Kinda like a usaul amount after you brush your hair. I do not feel ill. I am overwhelmed.
I started chemo on March 3, 2026. I felt ok afterwards. I got nauseous and extremely exhausted. I was given medication for the nausea which helped. I was writting about my experencie on my other blog Hope Angeline Designs but I think I am going to keep that about my business and occasionally post about my journey. I would like one spot to just talk about my journey and express my feelings.
I go on March 10, 2026 for the second round of chemo and I go on March 12, 2026 to get my Mediport. I am looking forward to the Mediport because I do not like the IV in my arm. You have to keep it straight and that gets difficult after a while. I will try to post every couple of days about my journey. Let you know what is going on and how I feel.
I know I haven't posted in a bit. I've been feeling so exhausted lately. Like I can not get enough of sleep. I went through chemo on March 10th had a week off the week of the March 16th. I went to chemo on Tuesday March 24th it went good. As good as chemo can go. I am feeling nauseous and exhausted today but trying to stay busy. I do not want to lay in bed all day. I am going to try to stay busy. I like to make jewelry so I am going to attempt to do that. I've been researching diets and cancer. I need to do something else instead of just waiting around. I want to help kick cancer butt! It is a lot of information. So I am trying to soak it all in. There is so much information. I do have a call with a dietitian so I am looking forward to that. Maybe she can help me with some reciepes or what foods to eat and to avoid. I bought several books from Amazon and Barnes and Noble. It is overwhelming. I wish I could talk to someone who has been through this type o...
