Susan Wise has Cholangiocarcinoma, a cancer of the mucus glands lining the bile ducts. Bile is a fluid which helps us digest food - its main function is to break down fats in food - and the bile ducts are tubes which carry bile from the liver to the small intestine. Because of its "hidden" location - and the fact it's very rare - it tends to be diagnosed too late for surgery to be an option.

The cause of most bile duct cancers is unknown. My aim is to raise awareness of this rare cancer and raise money to fund research into its causes, earlier diagnosis and effective treatments. Ultimately, I hope a simple test will be developed so cc can be diagnosed at a much earlier stage.

I'm joining AMMF's fight against this disease for Susan and for everyone affected by Cholangiocarcinoma, whether as patient, carer, family or friend.Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
