Re: ONC nurses...please answer....
Please do not wait, if it is malignant, the growth can be very rapid. You want to control it while it is small and positively before any mets has occurred. If by chance it is benign, thank the man upstairs. But do not wait. From what I can decipher of the chart posted. Of the 150000 + people of various cancers, about 2.1% with chemo therapy has a 5 years survivorship. Good luck to you.
As the earlier poster suggested... Take one day at a time . Don't let the information overwhelms you.Your body heals better with better mental coping skills. If you need to see a counselor , do you. I'll be thinking about you.
