The outpouring of support and insights has been overwhelming today. This post has been going for nearly 24 hours and I am still getting new responses. I've been coming back all day long to gain more strength and shed a few tears. Thank you all.
I will compile a list of the resources that have been shared and pin it to this post.
Some positive news - The CT and blood tests came back mostly good. There seems to have been no spread at this point and the blood test was surprisingly healthy. There seems to be a 100% chance that there will be surgery, radiation, and possibly chemotherapy in the near future. We will not delay treatment but will be exploring all the alternative/supporting options.
Thank you again for the outpouring here, it has been a shining bright spot for us today.
Always!
