If it helps, I have seen a couple of people live years beyond their Doctor predicted lifespan. 1 was given only a couple of weeks by the time they found it. She made 6 years. Another was given 3 months tops. That was 5 months ago and she is getting better and better. I was given 3 months, 2 years ago. I have cervical cancer. Try to stay positive, I know it can be hard. Eat. When you do eat, try to keep it healthy and alkaline. But most important of all, try to enjoy every moment of every day. I wish you all the best.

I travelled from Cairns Wueensland to Melbourne and was seen at the Peter MacCallum cancer clinic. I had a radical resection in March after convincing the surgeon to operate. Now I have finished five months of chemo, gemcitabine back in Cairns. Next week I will fly back to Melbourne for my post op checkup. I feel great, but then I did right up until the op too. The stats are pretty depressing and it's hard to find up to date information. I plan on betting the odds. I would love to hear from others who are beating the odds, especially those with gallbladder cancer.

My thought on all this cancer stuff is "give it our best shot".
