Lisa,

Once you get that "C" diagnosis, worry and stress are a part of your life. I had a recurrence a year ago which really added to my high anxiety level.

Have you gone for a second opinion? I saw 3 surgeons last year and got 4 different treatment options ranging from minor surgery to major surgery. Then it was up to me to decide what was the best treatment plan for me.

We are here for you!
