The first time one hears "cancer", it takes one's breath away, and yet, hopefully, in a few months yours will be gone. Treatment has come so far even in my lifetime, and what was once a terror, is now commonly little more than an inconvenience.
It seems like an excellent time to explain to your daughter about the benefits of regular checkups (you caught yours before it was far advanced), and healthful living. That way, as in so much of life, solving the problem when it is little, is so much easier than trying to solve it when it is big. Screening and prevention are so important. You might want to think about taking your daughter with you to the next appointment so that she is completely in the loop, and that way so that she can also learn how to avoid this in her own life.
Again, very best wishes for a successful treatment and a rapid complete recovery.
Keep us posted, and we will all cheer you on from afar.
