Welcome @overcomercynth. I can imagine that you're scared. This is all happening so fast.
You'll notice that I moved your message to this existing discussion that @aksinspringfield started. She was in a similar state of shocked just a few months ago.

I did this so you can read some of the previous posts and easily connect with fellow members like @flusshund @dedehans @corgimenow @ta52 @ginabilleter and many more.
As you wait for your upcoming appointment in a few days to discuss treatments options, I'm sure you're making a list of questions to ask. Cynth, did you have surgery already and this appointment is to discuss post-surgery treatment?

The six days between my diagnosis and treatment consultation with my oncologist were the six worst days of my life. But my oncologist finished that Initial meeting by saying "I have every confidence in the world that this treatment is going to work for you" and that was two years ago. We have made tremendous progress in the treatment of cancer and we, the patients, are the beneficiaries.
