Hi Tippie - welcome to the family. Though many have done it alone, navigating this journey with cancer is lots easier with the support and knowledge you will get from this forum. Who knew having an STD could actually be beneficial.

My cancer was moderately differentiated, but like David said above that was more than enough to scare the you-know-what out of me until I found out what it meant.

You have a lot to learn in a relatively short period of time before treatment begins. So get busy reading the pages of the OCF website about diagnosis and treatment and any other topics you have an interest in. Get yourself a spiral notebook to write down the questions you will think of (there will be many and you won't remember them all). I had sections for each doctor, but the most beneficial answers I got were from the nurses. Don't overlook them as a source of knowledge during treatment.

You're in for a wild ride over the next few months. It may go smoothly, it may not, we are all different, cancer and treatment affects each of us differently.

When you think of questions ... ask. This place saved my sanity from the time I was diagnosed all the way through treatment. That's why many of us stick around after treatment is over to help the new guys after us.

Again, welcome
Tony
