Wow Rio, sounds like you’ve been through a lot! Happy to hear that your quality of life is better now. Hernia surgery is a piece of cake compared to your prior medical treatments. Do you know if you had photon or proton radiation? I have read that proton radiation is more targeted to needed area and is less likely to damage surrounding areas. I’m having surgery soon but need to figure out next steps after surgery and staging.

I am happy to report that my scans were all good. I am considered to be in remission! I won’t need a CT scan again until next year. It’s been a long three years.

Thank you for responding. By this time I should know what kind of radiation I had. I don’t. I am seeing my radiologist this week and will ask. I am having my MRI this morning. My Ct scan was last week and results were good. I’m expecting to get good results from today’s scan. I’m looking forward to not having any tests hanging over my head for a year. Testing every six months weighs very heavily on the mind. The next step will be to fix this hernia that’s developed. It’s becoming very painful and large. Wishing you the best!
