Patty - I'm not one to talk about death... the potential of etc... I am a very positive person for the most part. You do have to talk. Assurances help if you are scared. Do share some of the info you find here. Particularly point out that there are a lot of people here who've been through it and are doing well. There is a lot of info here that will give you a solid idea of what to expect and what is the norm with treatment for his specific cancer. Do share - if you can - the type and location of his cancer. That way people who have had a similar case can share with you their experience.

The second opinion is important, hopefully it is at a CCC - you need to be somewhere that does cancer all the time - they are generally the most innovative and offer the team approach.

Do hurry with it though. With this cancer time is of the absolute most importance. Don't rush but do not wait crazy amounts of time either...

welcome... and good luck.
