Update on my condition

My advice is this:

If you dont like or agree with what the doctor says, go out and research. There is always some doctor some hospital with newer, bigger, better facitilies & treatments.

I have a friend who refused to take 'no' for an answer. She too was 35 at her cancer diagnosis. Her diagnosis was so poor her doctor in this region said she wouldn't survive long enough to make it to Loma Linda hospital for a new treatment (the only treatment for her type). She had done her own research and found that this hospital was doing this treatment.
3 years later she's still with us, working, enjoying life.

Exactly. Good point elp6n.
Research Tob and know as much as you can. Know the treatments and specialist in the field.
It is at these times knowledge is powerful. And the internet can be a good thing.
First thing my friend with bladder cancer did. He got his sister to go online, and seek out all the information she could find on his cancer.
Treatments, specialist, effects of treatment etc. The hospital he went to is a leader in the type of cancer he has.

Hang tough bro.

I know how it is to have someone close diagnosed with cancer. I wish the best for your situation.
