Jeff - It is a scary time but you are taking the right steps and once you get more information you will be even better prepared to fight this. There is so much great information on this site. Make a list of all your questions so that you can get everything answered when you see the doctor. It helps to have someone with you when you go so they can help you remember everything the doctor tells you. And come back here often with your questions or to let us know what's happening and how you are doing. You can get through this!
