While I am saddened to hear your news, I want you to know that cancer research has really advanced. Talk to someone, get good positive vibes going.

My mom was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia and given 2-3 months. we refused to believe it. At 83 she got on a research program and lived 3 more years.

All I am saying is, we got you, and so does your doctor, positivity helps. My mother fought all the way home.

Sending you all my love.
