Hi, I am new here as well, but I have been reading here for about a week or so now, and I can tell you, you will most definitely make friends and be surrounded by support. My mom went through the same thing 4 years ago. They removed the tumor and she didn't need and rads or chemo. I can fully relate to your panic, and wish you the best. I think that even if you have had things like this in you family before, no one can fully understand how YOU feel, but I think you will find comfort here. Good luck and from my experience, all you can do is take one day at a time, and try not to jump to and conclusions, just focus on the fact that it can be taken care and you will get better...take care.
