Glad you found us Al and welcome. Getting a cancer diagnosis is probably the biggest shock any of us can imagine. It sounds like you have your head screwed on right with a real positive attitude. That can make a big difference in how you react to treatment.

Your doctors are on the ball having your port and peg tube already in place. The feeding tube will become your best friend. Like Christine said, the treatments are tough but they are doable.

I found the people on this forum to be very compassionate and knowledgeable. There will always be someone who has gone through a similar situation and they will share their experiences to try and help you.

Good luck in your journey and keep us informed.
