It always looks and feels hopeless just before the treatment starts. You're still dealing with the shock of it and...you are not yet in treatment and moving towards a positive outcome. You will soon start feeling better mentally and you will get more comfortable with your diagnosis as the treatment begins. Hang in there, keep your sense of humor and you will be surprised how after some time, it will not all feel hopeless. This should be survivable so please choose a long life with your supportive family and friends. We will all be here to stand beside you, I promise you that. All the best and keep us informed and chuckling.
See if your docs are consulting with a tumor board.
All the best, Rob J.
