[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 528784, member: 84"] DDD Do yourself an enormouse favor, schedule an appointment with your fam doctor just to sit together and discuss your options. Nope, he's not going to be the one to treat you. Which is the point. Oncologist have a strong tendency to push treatment even when they know it's too late to do anything. Why? Because that is what they're trained to do, and sadly for many.......it's how they make their money. (it shouldn't be that way, but it is with many) Fam doctor knows you and is more likely to be honest with you. Even if you do that, do your research. What are the pros/cons of each treatment option? Are the side effects worth the treatment? What are the odds of treatment being successful. (if they don't give you odds or make them too optomistic, be wary) Are you healthy enough to undergo treatment options? And attempt to speak to folks if possible who have already been there done that with each option. I'm going to hope and pray that since you have been careful with your health that this was caught early enought that removal of the section is the most that would be required. Hugs [/QUOTE]
