I'm 48yo Dad with 3 young kids under 12. I am terminal. My second scan since diagnosis of Cholangiocarcinoma in February this week has shown spread in my liver and peritoneum. It's a living nightmare knowing I'll have to leave my kids on this earth when they are so young.

I'm so sorry to read you are living a nightmare too.

I am so fucking sorry, especially as a fellow parent of young kids. Bile duct cancer is one of the cruelest.
