Angela, welcome and I am so sorry that we have to meet this way. I am also sorry that you have had so much to digest in the short time since getting diagnosed. Please feel free to express yourself and share your journey with us all. Not many people can understand how you feel like us. This family and the support and knowledge they supply has kept my husband (bio below) and me sane, protected and loved through it all. They have also play a role in the fact that he is still here, along with the other obvious factors for survival.

You will not be alone during this all so please come here to ammo up for your fight. We will walk besides you during this awful time in one's life. Breathe Sweetie, it is one of the most important things you can do for yourself. Take care and please keep us updated on when things are happening for you, we will send out positive thoughts and good vibrations when you need it the most.>>Believe51

PS: Yes I can believe it, my husband never so much as had a cold or broke a bone or even had stitches. Stage IV from diagnosis!!
