In reply to the discussion: It's been confirmed: I have first-stage cancer. [View all]bitterross
(4,066 posts)18. That must be terrifying.
Fortunately, you caught it in the first stage. I hope your doctors have given you a good prognosis based on the early detection. Though it may be difficult to do, I bet I'm not the only one who would welcome your sharing your journey through these difficult times with us here. We can be a support group for more than our shared dismay over politics.
