I was diagnosed 3/7. You can do this. The people here are wonderful and will share their knowledge and experience with you.
Mine was discovered in a lymph node and has an unknown primary. I have trans oral robotic surgery planned on 5/9 at Stanford.
ChristineB will tell you more but if you aren't already at one, I suggest a comprehensive cancer program available in big cities or teaching hospitals. There will be a multi disciplinary approach.
CougarDad2 and Gmcraft have great advice.
Please reach out for support. You may want to ask to record your visits on your phone so you can listen and review later.
Wishing you the best,
Stef
