So sorry to hear this. I received my diagnosis while on vacation in Hawaii in the spring of 2019. It does put a cloud (putting it mildly) on things. The year of surgery, mad chemo, radiation and all the other stuff is devastating to say the least. Just know that there will be good days interspersed with the bad and don’t let anyone tell you how to feel. Get your plan and start the attack. My prayers are with you.

Depending on the type, and location, medicine has some come a long way in recent years. Does your doctor know of your plans, and can he recommend a delay? You could probably use the time off. In September of 2019, I woke up with 25 staples in my stomach that I never thought I would see. I am going home now to get the chemo port out next Thursday. I am blessed. Just keep chugging, and you will get through this. Blessings to you.

So sorry to hear you're going through this. Cancer is such a scary word to hear, but there have been so many advances in treatment and therapies - keep hope in your heart! My family has a history of dealing with cancer (my father, aunt, and brother died of cancer 20+ years ago), but the next generation has beaten it! Like crushed it! Medicine has come a long way, but you still have my best wishes and prayers.

My friend and neighbor is going through this right now. Her doctor told her 20 years ago there would have been no treatment, but not so today. Keep a bright outlook and know that many healing prayers are coming your way. Praying for you and your family.

Sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I would not wish that journey on anyone, but it is your path now. Stay strong, even on tough days, you will be tested, but it does get better. Please do one thing, and that is DO NOT, under any circumstances, start researching your condition on the internet, and then try to compare yourself to someone online. It can be overwhelming and negative. Everyone is different. I got so sick of hearing those words "everyone is different" but it is totally true. Develop a really good relationship with your oncologist. Keep positive people in your life. Don't be afraid to ask for help. I'm 3+ years on the other side of it and thankful for every day. Will be sending good vibes and best wishes your way.
