Dear Atul,

What kind of treatment has your medical team discussed with you? As you may have read in the posts here, response to treatment varies from person to person. Cancer, unfortunately, is one of those conditions where it is impossible to be exact about what the situation is going to be.

You may find it helpful to talk to your doctors and ask them what kind of treatment you are going to get and what kind of side effects you can expect to see. My personal experience was that I had to take things a day at a time without getting too far ahead of myself.

Hopefully someone with a similar diagnosis may come along and share his/her experience with you' but even then, you will need to take individual differences into consideration.
