I am not yet positive that I have cancer, but so far all signs point to yes. I see my doctor Monday morning. Any words of wisdom during this stressful time?

Thanks.

    I don't have any words of wisdom; but start counting your blessings. Think of the positive. If it is cancer, then your life will be changed forever. Think of your treatment just as a passage. Getting through is tough, but there is a point where you hit bottom and after that you're on the upswing again. Be positive. Be strong. Know that you're not alone.
