Warren,

Welcome to OCF my friend, glad you found us, sorry you had to. Like you I was in my early 30s when I was diagnosed and had a young family, I remember the nights worrying not about myself but what my ordeal would do to my wife and boys.

What I would say is just take it as it comes and don't let the word cancer overwhelm you...its not an automatic death sentence, if caught early your odds are good. Unlike you I did not find these forums until well after tx so had to walk this road.blindly...the advice and support here will make the road easier.

Good luck, keep your chin up

Eric
