Thank you for these responses. I am glad that people can express different opinions without disagreement or criticism. I am so glad I found this forum. Every comment is helpful in its own way and we all know that there are different experiences for different people. But there is commonality among the different opinions and as a whole they express the basic realities and reasonable expectations for me.

I'll let you know how it plays out. Hopefully my experience will help someone else in a similar position up the road. When I get the biopsy results back from my MO I will create my signature with my confirmed cancer type, stage, Tx start date, etc.

Thanks,
Dan
