I hope you are going to a cancer center where they have the most experience in treating this. At least this time you know the terminology and have your doctors lined up which is half the battle. They should have also caught it very very early due to having regular check ups. So if you must worry, at least remember the positives of it. Plus this time around you have OCF for correct medical info and support.
Im in your corner, please just ask if you have any questions. Best wishes!!!
