As I read through this post I am very discouraged at the way people are treating each other. With that said I agree with Brian, Christine and the others. I am a two time survivor and had surgery, radiation, and chemo. Yes, the treatments are no cake walk, but I am alive today to see my kids growing and learning and Love every minute of it. You really do need to listen to those Doctors you are going to see. I fthey suggest surgery, rads, and chemo and I would do it. They know what they are dealing with and have helped many others going through it. I will tell you right now that OCF has changed my life, and I have Brian to thank for that. Without Brian we would not be here encouraging and helping one another through a difficult process. before, during, and after treatment.
