First off you don't really have a complete diagnosis as far as I can see therefore no one has even suggested a treatment plan so you may be able to finish this qtr but IMO there is NO WAY you should attempt to take courses during what I imagine your Tx will be, concurrent radiation and chemo. IF that's what you end up doing then for most of us we have 7 weeks of a rough time (from the 4th week of Tx till the 3rd week post Tx). Even after we walk out of that dark Tx tunnel (around the 3rd week post Tx) most of us are weak as a kitten for a few months so I can't see you being able to benefit from trying to educate yourself during this time.
