Welcome to the family. This group is way bigger than just a forum. We are all brothers and sisters in the biggest roller coaster event many of us will ever face in life.
I wish I knew more about your cancer type. Mine is SCC (squamous cell cancer), simple compared to yours. But, regardless of the complexity, you have found a group of kindred souls, people who understand what you are going through because in one way or another we are all going through it too.
So, keep the faith. I know it's hard on you right now as there is so much unknown with a new cancer. This group will help you get past that unknown; there is a lot of knowledge here. And once you get past that unknown, you will start to sleep better.
You might as well go to MyStuff, Edit Profile and fill out a signature line about yourself. It helps others keep up with you and your case without having to re-read every post you make. Others will ask you to do it too.
Charlotte, this family is all about support, giving you strength when you need it and celebrating your good news when you get it. so, tell us what you need.
Welcome to the family.
