Hi Sharlee, unforunatly we must welcome you to our club, however we have a hell of a great group who will do their best to relieve some of your worries. We have all been there, the wisdom , compassion, knowledge and understanding that you will find here is the best.
Everything Amy said is true, and I just want to re-emphsize, You can do this but it is not easy, get your support group , family and friends in order, let them help you and do things for you, they want to instead of standing around feeling helpless. They are an important part of your treatment plan. Your mind adjustment is also crucial, remember my friend you have cancer cancer does not have you. Take charge and beat this beast down and fight with all you have, it will do a world of good if you approach this the right way and you will. One last thing that I did not see mentioned was make sure that you see your dentist and get those issues straightened out. Also ask your doctor about a PEG tube, this is tough to do with out it if you are going to have radiation. Just remember Sharlee you are in the fight to win and you will. Lean on us, those of us who are here can help to get you through this journey. Hang in there my dear.
Lenny
