Options for Cancer: Need more information, such as where is it located (adenocarcinomas can be in many different organs), is there lymph node involvement, etc Important to remember that there is alway more than one option or approach, including choosing not to treat. Talk it over thoroughly with your oncologist, ask lots of questions, have someone with you to take notes, get 2nd (and 3rd) opinions if necessary. GL
