I am glad you have your friend's good advice - this is a beastly disease and it is scary. That said - your have some great allies on your side with your doctors and your family. Your surgery is only in a week and a half - once you start treatment you will feel that you are DOING something and have a goal. You are in a fight, but NOT helpless.
