Kevin how did you deal with the anxiety over the 11 years going through all of those treatments, or did you have any anxiety? What about any side effects from the treatments? Are you a go with the flow person ? I am trying to be positive with all of this & looking at it as curative. I have had the one treatment so far & pray to God thats all I need. I know you have had 4 treatments, so I just wonder how you handled them mentally.
You are probably tougher than me. Lol
