Great big granny-hug, Sandman. So sorry that this should have happened to you; I'm glad they've caught it, though.
Never mind what non-medics might say; listen to your doctors; and take someone with you to consultations to take notes and to remind you of all the questions you would otherwise forget to ask. You can beat this and be healthier than ever. May you get the best of treatment and the least of side-effects.
