Jean, it is quite a shock to hear the word Cancer. But please know that there are so many things that can be done now. As JP said take one day at a time. Try not to let it overwhelm you. Write down all the questions that you might have to take with you to your next appt: It is so easy to forget what you wanted to ask about in these situations. I will pray for you. Know that there are those of us here that have been there & want to reach out to help you in any way we can. You will get through this. Sounds like you have a wonderful family. Take care and God Bless you & your family. A child of The Living God Beth
