Meeting with my (new) oncologist this afternoon [View all]

My previous one moved back out of state to be closer to her family, so this guy was a colleague, so I assume he's roughtly familiar with the case, but we're going to go over alternatives, if I want any, and his interpretation of the results of my last scan (colon cancer, mets spread throughout the lungs and now on the adrenal gland itself.

Trying not to speculate but getting increasingly stressed as the day moves on.
