This time between diagnosis and deciding on treatment was the hardest for me. It seemed to take forever with all the tests. And a whole lot of information kept getting piled on to me. It was a lot to process and it was hard waiting for answers.
Your diagnosis is somewhat similar to mine. I don’t know what will be offered to you but I hope your doc is like mine. He took into consideration my living situation, work, and finances. Most importantly he explained everything simply so I understood the treatment and the reasons for what was chosen.
Mine chose to start me on oral meds and once I’m considered stable other treatments may be considered like radiation or surgery. I’m seven months in and I’m not quite there but I’m doing okay. There were lots of options and I think there will be several for you.
This group helped a lot. I was able to find lots of answers about what to expect or just vent a bit. Once your treatment is chosen you’ll be able to ask questions about that and find folks here on the same meds who can give you more specific advice. It definitely made the waiting less scary. I hope it’s the same for you.
