Welcome, @chas123. Your story offers hope. I'm glad you're hear to tell it. I look forward to your sharing more of your experience to help others newly diagnosed.

Let me start with asking some questions. What would you tell your 66 year old self if you could go back in time? What questions would you have asked to help with treatment decision making? What tips would you offer someone who is newly diagnosed?

Thank you Colleen. Well if I could put the clock back. I am sure I would make the same decision. Maybe a bit more hessitent. But happy had it because more than likely I would not be here now. Any one else in the same position I would say talk it over with your family,and try to be brave and go for it if that's what is on offer to you. I hope this helps a bit of the way. I am now 10 years after.
