Hello Jennifer,

Sounds like you are in good hands as far as doctors go. As your treatment plan is mapped out please post to let us know.
Some questions we would have are:

What did they stage your cancer at?
Is your trearment plan being reviewed by a team of different doctors? Surgeon, Rad guy & On'gist?

There will be alot of questions you will need to know. You can go to the search engine at the top of page and read some older postings that will help you. You can also post your questions and someone with similer treatments will reply. Everyone reacts diferently to similer treatment.
It may seem like a mountin but each journey begins with that first fearful step. Remember there is light at the end of the tunnel!

The more educated you are about your diaease the more confident you will feel as you start your journey. I can tell you it's one bumpy road but many of us have traveled it and survived. You will to!!

Best Wishes, Danny Boy
