You have a diagnosis and preliminary staging so you at least know what you face going forward. Sounds like things are moving along pretty quickly if you have another meeting scheduled on Monday.

Try not to attend along any of these meetings as the extra ears make a big difference to what is being explained.

Ask about tumor board or other means to get other review of the diagnosis. A formal second opinion is a standard method but a solid tumor board is good too.

Good luck
