Hi,
My name is Iris. I am 61 years old, married and we have two wonderful grown-up sons. Last week my husband (also 61) was diagnosed with a Klatskin tumor. He is a very sportive, young looking guy, who allways lived a healthy life. Having heard this Klatskin name, I went on-line and discovered this forum. In one way it scares the hell out of me, in another way it comforts me.
Some of the patients writing, had been diagnosed with this cancer in 2004 and 2005. That gives me at least hope that we can have another few years together.
I have not told my husband about this forum yet. Mondaymorning he will get a ct-scan and after that we hear whether his cancer can be removed by surgery. I want him to have a positive hope, so that is why I went on this board en not he. If the outcome of the ct-scan and surgery are bad, he will hear soon enough.
Thanks for listening to me and I wish everyone who has this cancer or has it in the family all te best and strength.
