Hi Blair, I cannot respond about your specific type of cancer. I had been diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer (Stage 3C) in 4/2000. I have been on chemotherapy for three straight years. We have not been able to get rid of the cancer, but have been able to keep it stable. I am actually doing quite well with all of this. You need to just make up your mind that you need to do what you need to do to get through this ... no matter what it takes!! Work on trying to accept the diagnosis and then getting on with life, doing your research, and going for whatever treatments are recommended (surgery, radiation, chemo, whatever it takes!). I firmly believe that my positive attitude is what has kept me going for the past three years. And, I do anticipate being around quite a bit longer if I have my way!!! Good Luck, Debbie
