Hi I agree with Cathrine and Ija what wonderful words. I too am fairly new to this journey and have grown somewhat I have had my surgery but it was the waiting and the OMG how much is this going to grow before I am treated. The waiting was brutal. I got the same advice from the caring people here just breathe and take things one day at a time. As it turned out I have a wonderful team working on me and during surgery they removed all of the tumor and my nodes were clear. Again the waiting time to find answers out drove me crazy again the advise to keep busy and breathe ...All I can say as the experience on this site is valuable and with baby steps and experienced team you will come through to the otherside ready to experience more life
