Welcome to OCF! I am glad you found us and even more glad you are going to MSKCC. It is one of the best cancer centers in the world, really.
When you go to appointments make sure you have someone who is a strong stable personality to hear and write down what is going on.
I had induction chemo and it worked amazingly well; by the time I was done with the chemo phase the tumors had basically gone away. I still had radiation and chemo to make sure the beast was dead and gone and now two year post, feel 100%.
It is so scary now but you are on a very solid track so far. Check in here all the time approvide updates and get our collective experiences. We are not doctors but sure have a ton of practical experience.
