Can anyone give me some hopeful stories about this rare cancer? My mum (an otherwise healthy, fit 70yr old)has just been diagnosed and I would love to hear a positive story from someone who has been through the same cancer and survived!

    Smiffy,
    Yes! please see my post in this section, "alternative treatment for cholangiocarcinoma is working". In my wife's case, the tumor was not fully resectable, and normal treatments like chemo and radiation in this case don't have much success - but there is hope, please read and investigate!
    All the best
