Hope is a significant human asset.
We give your ‘Hope’ its first plan
We provide you with a roadmap and support from day one.
Cholangiocarcinoma Australia takes in a full global view and continues to centralise, simplify, and share the most current information with you.
Hello, my name is Steve Holmes a CCA patient – CCA is the abbreviation for Cholangiocarcinoma. Whether you are reading this as a patient or a supporter of a newly diagnosed patient, I totally understand that this is not the type of place you want to be, but that is the same for all of us. We are a tight-knitted family of patients, caregivers, and supporters who work together for our best outcomes. The CCA Australia Facebook Group offers you the opportunity to learn quickly and efficiently outside of your health provider environment. It is most likely you will meet /connect with members who can offer help and advice based on their own current experiences.
As a “Newly Diagnosed Patient” there are some inescapable “Priority Must-Do’s from the moment of diagnosis. This is what the Patient Toolkit guides you through.
You must take responsibility for your own education and become an advocate for yourself, this is not something that most feel comfortable with, but you will improve as you move forward.
As “Newly Diagnosed Patients” we all begin with that first tentative, scary step as we stumble headfirst into a challenge that is beyond our comprehension. You must find some composure and gain a basic knowledge of Cholangiocarcinoma.
Please do not attempt to go this alone, read the Patient Cancer Tool kit and begin ticking off the priority must-do’s one at a time – this will lay down the best foundations for the journey ahead.
