You said it, stay strong for your family, but don't overstress yourself over it. Whatever is found, get a quick second opinion, then put your care in the doctors hands. I've watched my dad beat stage four cancer twice now. Modern medicine has came a long LONG way. Find you a good source of positivity and tap in often. You'll be fine

Healthcare technologies have come a LONG way and continue to evolve the means of "modern medicine". I wish you success with any issues. My advice is to stay positive as it's in the early stages and there's a strong possibility to kick this thing early.

I dont know ur kid... but I can tell u... guidance comes to me with many kids that are "distracted" with home/family issues that they have concerns for... Although not little kids..they just dont have the coping skills yet. (fyi: Im sro in a middle school;6,7,8th grade...so same age group).

In the end...please... its ur decision, Im just telling u my observations.

Well I went my cancer Dr and got some good news it is cancer. But in the very early stages its more per cancer with some cancer cells. Its not to the spreadable stage yet. Surgery should take it out 100%. Maybe I can sleep now. Saturday I have a Ct scan and getting 2 units of blood to build my bloot count back up before surgery.
