Take good notes as best you can. There will be a lot of new lingo and info being communicated.
One thing to consider is ensuring you are at a facility that uses a team approach and a tumor board where many doctors will review your case. Then one other option is to seek a second opinion from a different facility.
These may take a couple extra weeks but you have time and it is better to be 100% certain of your decisions rather than rush and have doubts later.
Other tests will be scheduled and that will take some time too so hang in there and read here and ask away as you get more details.
Do provide as much detail to the diagnosis as you can as it helps get better replies
