Welcome to the forum. I am sorry that you have the need to join this circle of friends, we have all been through the "journey" in one capacity or another, and we do understand what it involves.

Have you already been given a treatment plan or are you waiting to see the surgeons first? It would help for members of the forum to respond to your posts if we could have a bit more information, such as where the tumor is and what stage it is at.

I am sure ChristineB will be along soon with her response. Please keep us updated and do let us know what the surgeons say.

Keeping you in my thoughts.
