What did you do after you were told you had cancer?

initially I was told I had a little cancer. just a little. No big deal. A little chemo and radiation I will be fine. My cancer doctor told me I had a 5% chance of survival. ok, 5%.

We drove home about 90 miles and got take out pasta and some soup.

At the time I was told I had cancer I did not have health insurance. Health insurance for someone healthy is expensive and for some sick health insurance is a bargain.

i had the financial resources to buy health insurance but I was being cheap.

I eventually got health insurance and had my cancer operation the day before thanksgiving.

the time frame to start cancer treatment is usually 6 weeks after your cancer operation.

unfortunately I did not start treatment until week 9 which set me back and I needed more radiation treatments because of it.
