Thank you all for your kind words. It is the first place I have found that is at all hopeful and the stats are so grim - it only adds to the fear that is so overwhelming to me already.
A bit more about my cancer - adenocarcinoma with a spot in the lung, lymph node involvement and a spot tucked behind my vena cava near my heart. It spread pretty dramatically before it was found. Because of the spread and location it is inoperable.
Thank you again, I am so glad I found this group.
