It's highly unpleasant (okay it sucks in a big way) but you will get through it. Naturopathically my advice eat healthfully - bump up your protein, and avoid antioxidants. Ideally this is treated by surgery first, and hopefully they will sample some nodes as well. If there is any concern after surgery they will recommend rads and chemo, hugs
