Sorry you had to find us and so sorry your doctor messed up and did not diagnose it earlier. At least now, you know and plan and get on with treatment and recovery and back to a full life.
Once you get a full diagnosis and treatment plan things will become clearer. Just as a heads up, most cancer treatment does force folks to take some time off work. If you have a very small stage 1 diagnosis with surgery and no chemo or radiation you may be able to slide through without missing work.
Just be patient until the picture becomes clearer then you can start doing more specific planning about work and child care and such.
Good luck
Don
