94. I wish you the best of luck.

As a cancer survivor of almost 11 years, my advice to you is to get all the information you can on your type of cancer and make sure you have a good idea of what your docs should be doing, and what they can do. Be as positive as you can because it helps.

In getting info from the internet and elsewhere, I'm not saying to be a know-it-all jerk, but you also don't want to be passive in your care. Try to know what you can.

My kids took it hard too. We're mommies, it's scary for them. She has to process what you told her and then she will be an ally.

I did not have to have chemo and/or radiation, so I can't advise on that. I had two abdominal surgeries and they got it all. If you have any questions about that or aftercare, or just want to talk, please feel free to message me and I will help if I can.
