The beginning is so rough…when you know there’s cancer, but don’t know much…waiting for more tests and imaging before treatment options are given..fortunately cancer is not the same as in our parents’ day and there are many successful treatments…try to get genetics info on the tumor…and have the docs test for your personal reaction to treatments if they can—-both of these can affect what treatments you get….i definitely felt psychologically better once treatment began, because we were finally going after the cancer. Wishing you the best !

@nycmusic DYPD is the test to see how your body might respond to chemo.
