JT, Your very detailed and vivid description about how you discovered your cancer brings back my memory to where I was over 5 years ago and as you catagorised, I am one of the stupid people who had a delayed diagnosis for almost a year due to ignorance. Glad to know that everything is under control now and you are in remission after treatment. Your story can certainly give hope to many late stage cancer patients and their caregivers. Keep posting to let us hear more about your experience. Well done,
Karen
