I'm so new to the diagnosis, I don't even have TNM numbers yet. Should have them on Thursday. Docs are initially saying T2.

I thought I was coming into acceptance of this and ok with what was coming but after reading some of your posts, I'm now very scared. The docs are saying this is beatable, treatable, etc but in reading these posts, I'm now wondering.

And even if it is, all the problems that I see you having make me wonder if it's worth it. Someone please tell me that it is.

    I am 3 years out from treatment stage 3b. I read everything and just like you I thought this sounds like hell! I have been NED for 3 years and while you definitely have bathroom issues of frequency and urgency, you learn to deal with it. The treatment is short but brutal. You will bounce back and be doing Well before you know it! Stay strong and take care of yourself! One thing I have noticed is the number of long term survivors!
