Oh Sara, I'm so sorry! My heart goes out for you!

Our family just went thru it last year with FIL's cancer(lymph). So, I know how hard the waiting game is and how scary it is on whole family. Don't hesitate to ask for second opinion or third opinion until you get the info you're looking for. FIL had to go thru chemo treatment, but they have new meds for it now that were VERY gentle ( I guess as gentle as chemo can be) on him. He didn't have any hair loss, not much after effects compared to what I've heard of from other chemo patients. He was scheduled for 8 treatments and after 5 treatments, he was declared clear of cancer. It's been a year now that he's been cancer-free.

I'll be thinking about you and your family!
