So sorry you are in this position but now’s the time to remind everyone that you are the patient and are entitled to some civility! Your appointment with the Oncology Department should help clarify your diagnosis and possibly your recommended treatment. Your children are old enough to both understand and to offer ways to be helpful. Let them do so. There are many on this site with advanced cancer who get a great deal of benefit from treatment. And you may not of course be in that number. Day by day is the way to go at this stage - don’t assume anything, seek as much clear information as you can. If you can, take someone with you to medical discussions, two heads are better than one. Things do become clearer as your treatment plan is developed and many people on this site will
be happy to advise and help. Best wishes.
