Dear Gerry2
It certainly is a so and so when hit with the diagnosis!
I note one comment you made, pity party over! It is totally understandable to feel pity for oneself however as the reality of what's next with regard to treatment starts the focus then becomes all about the treatment.
I have a younger sister who has Metastatic cancer. After varying treatments they put her on Immunotherapy and at present she is NED! Scans every 3 months to keep her in check! We are always fingers crossed as scan and results are due!
Have you heard of Otis Foundation

Something to look forward to
Take care
Best wishes
