What a wonderful woman you are, to post this message. My heart cries with you for the loss of your husband. I can understand your grieve, that this drug didnot come in time. I remember my mother, dying at age 52 on angina pectoris. One year later, hospitals introduced dottering. It could have saved her.
You may have seen my name on this forum before. My husband Peter has bile duct cancer, diagnosed in 2007. Surgery was tried, but broken off. The liver was too badly infected. Against the prediction that he had another 2-3 months to live, he is still with me. Having the occasional high fever attacks, but otherwise doing extremely well. Works and sports again.
For us his Klatskin timebomb keeps ticking and you will understand that I noted the name of the new drug and with our next visit to the specialist, we will ask for it.
May be you were able to prevend another death? I will absolutely let you know! If not, we are enjoying this extra lifetime that is given to him. And we will cherish this little hope you gave us as an extra present.
Peter and I are thinking of you, trying to send you a mental comfort. Thanking you for your message, wishing you strength and love,
Iris (the Netherlands)
