Sorry for the diagnosis and welcome to the site. I know you will be bombarded with questions, such as size of tumour, location of the tumour, staging of tumour, where are you being treated - are you at a Comprehensive Cancer Centre (CCC), what is the doctors treatment plan - aside from surgery will you have radiation and/or chemo? ETc, etc. By the time we are done, we might not know your shoe size, but you might as well give that info up right away as we will probably ferret it out sooner or later! We have alot of people on this site who are very experienced in treatment and will provide you with some great questions to ask.

Feel free to post how you are feeling as well. This is an awesome spot to share those fears that only those who have been there can understand.

We look forward to hearing more from you soon.

Donna
