The Story of My Bile Duct Cancer Diagnosis

2022-01-02に共有
In the spring of 2020, as the world began to adjust to life in the early days of a global pandemic, I began my battle with cancer—specifically, stage four cholangiocarcinoma, which eventually inspired me to start this channel and online community. In this video, I share my story, from my earliest symptons to eventual diagnosis and treatment.

Are you a young person living with a terminal illness, who'd like to share your story? I'd love to hear from you! Email Megan at [email protected]

  • I have a friend who was diagnosed with bile duct cancer 9 years ago, and it returned again this past September. He finished all his of his treatment and was told his scans look great. He turns 54 this year.
  • You did a fantastic job of telling your story! Please always have hope and faith. My neighbor was diagnosed with cancer when she was 2 years old. It had spread everywhere. They had to remove her reproductive organs and her bladder. They told her parents to let her do what she wants. The doctors gave her a 5 % chance of surviving. On Sept 17 she will turn 24. Stay strong 💙
  • Hi, I was born with messed up ducts. I have chronic pancreatitis, liver problems, diabetes, 2 years thos June I had cancer in my colon. And I had my appendix turning to cancer and surgery for that last August. I've had 6 groshong catheters in my chest and was fed IV TPN for 5 years i couldn't eat or drink anything. I wasn't suppose to live past 10 years but I've made it for 26 years. It isn't easy and I'm in pain and sick alot. But I live like I'm alive and not already gone. The doctors the tests the bills the insurance....youre right people don't understand how hard and consuming it is. Keep you're focus on dealing with yourself. Accept love and help and kindness when you need it. There's alot of us who care. Blessings to you. By the way I was 35 when I was diagnosed and I'm almost 62. Hang in there, there is a plan💛🌻💛

    So sorry you’re dealing with this. I have stage 4 cancer neuroendocrine cancer in pancreas, liver & lymph nodes and I’m also 35. Scary but I hope your treatment will continue to help you. I agree it’s a very traumatic experience. Just subscribed to your channel. I was initially at a hospital in Central NJ with a GI onc who did not have a good bedside manner (wonder if it’s the same doc) and have since switched to a different hospital. I was also diagnosed during the pandemic. Thank you for sharing your story. This is inspirational I am in so much pain. I really needed to hear the part at the end. Thank you so much.
  • Your video really moved me, I'm wading through unknown waters myself right now with my health and hoping against all odds that I don't have any form of cancer. I've been dealing with appointments non stop for almost 2 years now and still no diagnosis. I admire your ability to still smile and laugh through your reality. Truly an inspiration 💙
  • My oldest sister had the same cancer. I’m sure she had it for at least a year + before diagnose. I noticed she had lost a lot of weight. I’m like, you have lost a lot of weight, are you doing some crazy diet…she’d stuff me off. She’s a big girl so she must’ve lost a good amount of weight pretty fast for me to notice it. By the time she was diagnosed she was stage 4. You keep fighting! I’m 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 for you. You can beat it. You’re young and strong. My sister was 71. At that time I couldn’t find much info at all. So, very thankful you’re posting this.
  • Thank you for sharing your story. My sis just got diagnosed with bile duct cancer 3 weeks ago. It's so scary
  • My heart is physically hurting and I'm only halfway through your video. I don't want to imagine getting this news.

    My Dad passed from Cholangiocarcinoma. This was 17 years ago. He unfortunately found it very very late. I can only imagine because he was a tough guy and was shrugging off the symptoms. I wish I had someone like you to explain it from a first person. My father refused to tell us anything. He didn’t want to upset us. We were floored. We had little to now information. Thank you for your story.

    when you have never dealt with health issues before you just trust your dr a lot of the time and don't realise just how hard you have to push for the answers you need. i found this out the hard way, was in a coma and on life support before i got my diagnosis and i'm now permanently disabled. i am still fighting for answers to health problems that aren't yet diagnosed. its exhausting just being poorly, we shouldn't have to fight this hart to stay alive. wisshing you all the best, hope you stay stable for as long as possible. thank you for sharing your story.
