Just Diagnosed with Cancer? Chat with Experts

Scared, but have faith!

By Kym Friday, May 30, 2008

I got diagnosed on May 13th, and my appt. at M.D. Anderson in Houston is not until June 9th!  Does that seem like a long time to wait?  I have IDC scores of 9.

I'm so scared it is spreading while I'm waiting for my appointment!Cry
