You have come to the right place. You'll find lots of information and support here.

Once there is a treatment plan you will all feel much better. You are in an awful limbo now.

One thing we always recommend is to eat, to enjoy food until the surgery or radiation makes eating more problematic for a while.

I know how hard it is and wish you all the best. If you could add to your signature by describing the location of the cancer, people will be able to give you more targetted advice.

Best wishes
