Thank you so much Colleen. Everything you wrote makes sense, and it does give me some comfort.

I had my surgical consult yesterday (Thursday), and the procedure is on the books for this coming Wednesday. So my treatment, whatever it ends up being, will probably start (finally) the week of Dec 1. (We have to wait for pathology results.)

I appreciate you and this community. I know I'll be relying on you all in the coming months.

@stevenyc I had a similar experience. My first visit (prior to CT) we discussed surgery. Post CT I was told “non-curable” and Stage IV as it metastasized to my liver and several Lymph Nodes. That was 4 1/2 years ago. It will be a mental and physical test but keep your faith and fight fight fight. You stated you are physically fit. That will be a tremendous help. I was 47 and in Army so was very physically fit. I believe it allowed my oncologist to “hit me hard” with the chemotherapy. I highly recommend staying active as much as possible. Prayers to you and your healing process.
