Well wishes certainly heading your way.
It's my understanding that, when it comes to the "C" word, outcomes for children are often a lot more promising than for adults. Especially ones that are "common" and easily operable. But that makes it no less scary. I am certainly thinking of you and your family, and hope that, as you go through this awful thing, it at least brings you some comfort knowing that friends and relative strangers alike from the forums are rooting for you and yours.
