This time last year, I was just a little ahead of where you are. I had the diagnosis and the biopsy out of the way, and was just starting the surgical part of my treatment.

It is a shock, but read the Read This First post in the Introductory Forum (can't remember specific name). Get ready to ask lots of questions of your doctors. Take somebody with you to appointments, as we can sometimes have selective hearing.

You have not yet had a biopsy, and the motto around here is that it ain't cancer until the pathology report says it is cancer. Not very helpful, I know, but it can help you stay positive.

Read the posts of others, but remember that everyone is different. Everyone receives a slightly different treatment protocol, everyone responds differently to treatment, etc. Stay away from statistics on survival rates and such -- your individual response is based upon what you and your doctors do and don't do, not on what happened to somebody else.

If it is cancer, get to a Comprehensive Cancer Center. Lots of information here on how to find one. Keep coming back with your questions, we are all here to help.
