cancer strikes my family again!!!!

[charlotte]

There was a song a long time ago, that went something like this... If it wasn't for bad luck, I would have no luck at all>
My Niece just found out a few days ago... She has cancer all in her spine, on the hips, legs, and of course the brain. I honestly don't know how to advise her.. She says she "feels numb".
I told her if she didn't like the way the Oncologist is treating her,(uncaring) to go to another one.second opinion at least..
Any suggestions? I usually come here for guidance, knowledge, and a caring group of folks, to listen to me.

The Dr. wants her to take radiation first , then oral chemo. I forgot to ask her what type of cancer it is.
She is very nervous about all of this just hitting her, when a few weeks ago, she was at work.. (said she had some back aches now and then). Now this diagnosis.!!!
thanks for any responses... Charlotte
