God, I don't even know where to begin. I'm so depressed. And it's weird because the first time I had cancer back when I was 17 actually brought me out of a major depression.

My husband (41, M) was just diagnosed in November with stage 4 cholangiocarcinoma. We have a 19 month old son and we had our lovely wedding in September. We’re shocked and devastated.

My mother's 4-month battle with pancreatic cancer ended recently. My family and I are devastated, as she was the backbone of our family, and a light loved by so many.
