@lisahar, it's never easy news to hear, but there are positives in what you've found out. It sounds like the cancer was identified early.
Receiving care close to home certainly has benefits. If you are able and interested, sometimes a second opinion hospital can help to drive decisions, while still having treatments at your home hospital. I've visited with doctors at larger teaching facilities when I wasn't sure about treatments that were presented to me at my home hospital. Both sides seemed happy to work with the other, and I felt more confident in the plan. Hoping that you find some peace in your decisions. Sending hugs.
