This is not the end of the world so try to just take it one day at a time. I agree with you get the best treatment at the best facility. Your dr is right if it was a small node with ECE then it sounds rather aggressive so best to hit it with both barrels.
Christine gave you good advice. It is NOT a fun treatment but doable. hugs and prayers coming your way. ;o)
