Hi Jenn - Cheryl just gave you the best and most comprehensive advice ever. Having someone to help you understand all this terrifying new information and just to hold your hand while you learn more is a great idea. I hope you have such a person. I found that many of my friends were more than willing to help.

So much of this cancer stuff is having to wait. It's maddening, I know. But we're all here for you so please come on the forum and ask questions and just vent any time you want. You're part of our family now.

Sending good vibes.
