Welcome to OCF Theresa! Glad you have found this site to help get you thru the upcoming rough patch. It wont be an easy road but you will get thru this. I would suggest you get all your records together and RUN to a cancer center. This is NOT to be taken lightly so you need to give this the best chance of proper treatment the FIRST time. Take it to a place where they are the experts. Your cancer is not that common so you will need an experienced team. Check out a cancer center, what do you have to lose?
