You might be young but you are certainly not stupid-don't let them treat you like that. I've been blown off by doctors myself and have learned to speak up if something doesn't seem right. If you don't "get" what they are saying make them explain things until you do.I know that medicine is not an exact science. My husband has a rare case where the primary cancer has shrunk but the metastasis to the lungs has increased. Go figure. Anyway, best wishes to you all, Sue
