One of the main organisations that provides information and support for people with cancer is the Cancer Council. Their services include:

• an Information and Support line, 13 11 20, which has specially trained staff available to offer support
• a range of face-to-face, online and telephone support groups
• a program called Cancer Connect where you can talk to someone who has experienced cancer
• an online community for people with cancer and their families and friends.

There are also some other organisations that provide support for people affected by bile duct cancer:

• Rare Cancers Australia offers practical and emotional support to people with rare cancers, including bile duct cancer. They can be contacted on 1800 257 600.
• The Pancare Foundation supports patients, carers and families affected by bile duct cancer and other upper gastrointestinal cancers. They can be contacted on 1300 75 50 50.

You can also talk to the cancer care coordinator or social worker where you are being seen. They can tell you what services and support groups are available locally. Your GP may also be able to provide information about this.
