I am sorry. All I can say is that make sure you know what stage, grade, etc it is. Please ask questions until you are satisfied with the answer. Hopefully they caught it in time to do surgery to remove it. My Dad had prostate cancer in 2004 and they did surgery. He just passed away in June from brain cancer. But one thing i know for sure is, if your are uncomfortable with the doctor, get another opinion. It never hurts to have another doctors point of view. There are cancer resource centers in the hospital that have tons of books on every kind of cancer that can help you! Good luck. My mom is 57 and has stage 4 ovarian cancer. I have been looking for information too. But try the hospital they have wonderful information. On the internet I think the website they say is cancer.net. Some of those sites you just can't read!
