What did the path report say or what did your oncologist say was your diagnosis? Did he tell you a Stage?
Remember we are not cancer doctors, only survivors and caregivers who have been there in the trenches just like you are now. We can tell you our experiences and tips that will be helpful to you but it does help us tremendously if we know what you're up against.
