Hey Jody - welcome I know you're scared... Cancer is a terrifying word... The one thing I do have to say is do what you can to stop it now - people some times make the mistake of thinking - oh it's only stage one do the minimum because we caught it early. Realistically, it's cancer - staging doesn't matter. Whatever they offer you to fight it, clarify, make sure it's within the NCCN guidelines, and educate yourself, then decide... The worst thing is facing a recurrence and thinking - I should have.... good luck!
