Hi Sarah-

Sending you good vibes. Sorry you are experiencing this but you've come to the right place. There are many stories here. The biggest and scariest part for me was not knowing what was happening in my body and when it would end. I wrote about part of my experience for my local paper:

I was spared surgery but underwent a pretty massive dose of chemo-radiation. Anyway, hope it helps. You don't have to go it alone.
