He's a surgical oncologist - he did my surgery and is quite amazing. He pioneered a surgical technique that a lot of other institutions are starting to use (he can see the cancer in real time while he is cutting). He really is amazingly talented. Edmonton is a good cancer center too. I've also hear BC is as well. Wherever you go hoping that the outcome what we all hope for.. NED.
Family is important. Try not to get down, this cancer can be flukey, but with the right treatment and care you will get through it. The not knowing personally would drive me around the bend.
