Facing Cancer Recurrence, PTSD & Acknowledging Mental Health

Hello- It's nice to meet you.
You said in one of your previous statements that on May 2nd it's possible to get a consult. Have you done this?
Life expectancy differs with each cancer and each person. You began posting about this in Mid April. Your friend was correct about this type of cancer being aggressive. The sooner you are treated for your cancer the better your chances for survival will be.
Have you decided on what you will do?

Yes, I got my CT scan today (what a difficult experience that was) and will receive the results in a day or 2. I'm hoping to get more help to pay for the chemotherapy. I'm praying I DON'T NEED SURGERY. If it is necessary, I will consult a couple of surgeons, but may have to borrow airfare to the Phoenix Mayo clinic. My insurance would over that. Jim

Just a note: I like the approach my oncologists has...
1. get things in order
2. Live rather than worrying about when you will die
3. Do what you can with treatments
4. Think positively as it does impact your care
