I am hopeful but and losing my faith... very quickly. I have a friend who was diagnosed and they did option #1 and are about to follow up with option #2.
About the only positive thing is that they discovered it before it spread... we hope.
Getting the big C diagnosis is always rough news. I’m 5 years out and doing well but lost a couple of friends diagnosed about the same time I was.
I’ve had a few friends and family with really bad diagnoses since then. Amazingly they are doing well. No guarantees but based on everything I knew, should not have lived a year but are living normal lives currently.
I chose a worse prognosis by not getting chemo, always figured I would feel like an idiot if the cancer came back, but if it comes back, there are options that weren’t available when I was first diagnosed.
