Glad you enjoyed some chocolate Opal. Go on, eat some more. Oink oink.

Seriously, Portia is right. My own experience with the big C (both times) is that you only get information if you ask the right questions. If you do not ask, they do not inform. It's outrageous really. They assume we have limited brain capacity; and, as non-medical people, we wouldn't understand. Well, we do. Get asking. Bottom line, do your own research. I found the UK Cancer charities to be particularly helpful. I assume you will have the same in the States, with trained Cancer nurses available 24/7. They gave me so much information. Neither the consultant, nor the oncologist, liked being questioned/challenged. Tough. It actually changed the after effects of my second cancer for the better because I made my own decisions. This will not, necessarily, be the best/right course for you/your husband. However, the more information, the better. As Portia said, they treat you like naughty children. Don't let them.

eat some more chocolate. Lots of positive vibes. 😘
