My cancer is different from yours (tonsil), but I can still welcome you to the family. You have already been contacted by multiple people with your same diagnosis, so I see the cavalry has already arrived, a fitting tribute to the wonderful members of this family.
Stick with us, we know how to help you get through this. Get yourself a spiral notebook to jot down notes of what you learn from reading, but more importantly to jot down the MANY questions you are going to think of - questions for the forum, questions for the doctor, questions for the nurses, the list will get long, get a couple of pencils.
Once again, welcome.
