Hi Danbert,

Having been here for a few months, I've seen a few of these posts. Sorry you're here but it's a great site for info and support. We've been through what you're about to go through but being as young as you are, you should do well and recover quickly. Once you know what your official diagnosis (Dx) is, post a signature and update as you go. It helps us understand where you are.

I'm not going to sugarcoat it, treatment sucks! You'll probably be getting radiation and possibly chemo. You've gotten a lot of good advice already. It's good that you're being seen at a top ranked cancer center. Not knocking other hospitals or doctors but a CCC sees more cases and has access to techniques and trials unavailable elsewhere.

There are a few younger members I've seen here and on other forums. Try to stay away from Dr. Google and hang on... you're in a for a hell of of a ride!
