Hello Ronnie, There are many here that have been where you are now. For the moment wait and see what your doctors recommend. Be sure you are getting the best advice you can find. (generally at a comprehensive cancer center). If it is small and caught early you have an excellent chance for full recovery. That said, this cancer is a bastard and you do not want to take chances.

Take care and Welcome to OCF.
