Jim, a marathon runner and young father with testicular cancer proudly told me  "I've been in remission now for two years and just now am becoming less fearful."

You cannot leave the starting blocks without learning the type, grade and stage of your particular cancer.  At the outset, everyone may have a notion of what cancer and cancer treatment is, but it is highly unlikely that your concept aligns with your specific type and stage of cancer.
