Hi Online Hope, sorry to hear of your diagnosis. Once your results are in, your team will have a meeting to decide what the best treatment plan is for you. You will then be called in to discuss the plan, if you can take someone with you, there is a lot to take in, also ask any questions you have, take a note pad so you can write things down. Once you have your treatment plan you will feel better about things. Be assured these cancers respond very well to the treatment, and the cure rate is very high. Any worries or questions just ask, someone will always answer if they can.
