Dear Carol,

Welcome to the OCF site. I'm sorry you have to be here, but hopefully you'll find lots of help and support.

Can you give us some background on the type and stage of your cancer, when it was diagnosed, and what has been done so far for treatment? With that kind of information, we can try to give you the perspective of other people who may have been through similar experiences.

Also, I have to re-emphasize Danny's point about being seen at a comprehensive cancer center (if you're not already). If you need a list of them, it can be found on this site under "Other Resources".

Please stay in touch.

Cathy
