Hi here, don't worry how long the oncologist says you have... 2 years ago John my husband was diagnosed with Bile Duct Cancer and they told me not to expect him to live more than 6 months...we had the best Christmas ever, loads of friends and a huge party thinking it would be his last...it was hard to try and better the party last Christmas - he was still going strong, eating drinking and partying.. now we are in July and up until a few weeks ago he has been doing wonderfully - tired maybe - but okay - then suddenly he has developed a problem with his intestines not working properly and he's currently in hospital - don't know what they will do as hard to get answers sometimes - still feel confident he'll be bouncing back home soon and I'm already planning this Christmas party
