Cholangiocarcinoma can be hard to explain, so our Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation team works on ways to simplify information so we can educate the community about symptoms, diagnostics, talking to your provider, treatments, and more. As part of CCA Awareness Month, we developed this one-pager: https://lnkd.in/guJBYD-X. We encourage you to become familiar with it, and if you are interested in advocacy, please consider sharing it in your communities. You can get ideas on where to share it via our toolkit (https://lnkd.in/gWAtKfwH) #beclearoncca #ccaawareness #ccahope #cholangiocarcinoma #patientadvocacy
Thank you for sharing awareness! The more people know, the better equipped we become to end this disease.

6moA very early symptom, especially for those aged 65 or older, is an unexplained generalized weakness that can occur up to 6 months before the other symptoms. My father died from this cancer over 30 years ago and I remember him complaining about feeling weak. At the time we (including his physician) all felt it was because of the beta blockers he was on for hypertension. Even in cases like his, weakness should always be investigated and cholangiocarcinoma should be suspected.
