With an unwavering commitment to make a meaningful impact, we strive to be a beacon of hope for individuals and families affected by this challenging disease.
Driven by our founder’s personal journey as a cancer survivor, A Rhea of Hope was born out of the desire to shed light on the struggles and triumphs of those battling Cholangiocarcinoma.

first Our organization serves as a trusted resource, providing comprehensive information, support networks, and educational materials to empower individuals in their fight against Cholangiocarcinoma.

Join us on this journey to make a difference and create a future where this rare cancer is conquered with resilience, understanding, and support.
If you know of someone, anywhere, who has been diagnosed with this cancer, feel free to contact me, Heidi Rhea at rheaofhopela@gmail.com, private message on my Facebook account Heidi Garringer Rhea, or contact me on this website. I would be happy to talk to them as someone who has had this cancer. I didn’t talk to anyone with my cancer for 6 1/2 years and don’t want others to go through that. I highly recommend going first to The Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation for all patients and signing up for the free care kit from them. They have a wealth of information on their website and also have several support groups, not only for patients but also for caretakers.
