Hi Andrew,

So sorry for your diagnosis---Wow - you must be in a lot of shock. I remember the feeling very well. Not so fun. Its like having the carpet pulled out from under you. I know its a lot to process. Just take things as they come. Do you have someone to be at appts with you?

Don't be alarmed at my signature. You won't likely be in my shoes. I also had lymph nodes that were swollen and it scared the crap out of me- BUT they ended up being negative. Of course I can't predict what your scenerio will be but I do know that the body wants to get the tumor out so its working overtime trying to fight it - so a lot of what you are feeling is probably due to that.

Be positive- get some pain and anxiety pills and just try and be calm and figure out the best plan. You are probably going to be getting a lot of different opinions. Go to the best Dr. you can for this.

Hang in there. KATE
