Catching it early is key before it can spread . Listen to your doctors and ask lots of questions . Be part of the decision making process on the path forward . In my opinion the " let's wait and see " approach is not a good path forward . But that's me . My older brother was diagnosed a little over a year ago . He went the same treatment path as I did and is doing well .
A good positive attitude is also part of the process . If you are a doom and gloom mentality that isn't helpful . Stay positive and active . Keep doing what you enjoy . Listen to the doctors and go with the treatment plan you are all comfortable with . Good luck to your brother .
