  While this is indeed serious, you should know that you have a good chance of beating this disease with appropriate treatment.
  B)
  Most likely your pattern of high alcohol intake over the years contributed to your cancer.

  You will likely be facing surgery in the near future, but know that this is very unlikely to eliminate your cancer.
  D)
