Hi -- I'm 56 and was diagnosed with Stage IV
gallbladder cancer last summer. Surgery was
unsuccessful and was told I may only have three
months to live. I started six months of chemo
and was lucky to respond to the treatment-- so
much so that surgery was attempted again in
January. It was deemed successful as I'm
currently in remission. I know I'm not cured
but feel lucky to feel somewhat normal again. I
just ran across this site and would like to
correspond with others in my situation. This is
such an unusual cancer that sometimes I feel
alone in this journey. My friends and family
have been great but I don't want them to think
I'm fixated on this disease. But once your life
expectancy has been measured in days remaining,
it's hard to look forward to a carefree future.
Thanks.
