Welcome. I know it's hard as you want to trust your dr. and I believe generally they do have your best interest at heart. However - there is something to be said for going to the best. Hopefully you are being seen at a top cancer facility. The first guy was on the money. With this cancer young doesn't matter anymore. We've had kids as young as 17 with it.

Best of luck with your treatment and welcome!!! ;o)
