Sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis. When you have time please add to the information things like the location of the tumor, the staging, where you are being treated, and what their current plan is for you. It will help people offer you things to be aware of, and ideas for issues that may come up as a process of treatment that they have found workarounds for, that may make things easier.

The OCF main website has tons of pages of trusted, vetted information about most everything you might need to understand. But please ask more questions about anything that you would like to more about, most of us have been through all this, and can offer you insights. Right now, I can understand that even knowing the right questions to ask of us or your doctors might be difficult. It does take awhile to learn the language of cancer can it’s treatment, so please no question is too simple or inappropriate. Knowledge is something that gives you strength, as it is the fear of the unknown that challenges most of us. Good luck, we will all be here to help if you need us. B
