Similar circumstances here, but I'm 74yo. Did radiation, chemo and then surgery. I am 9 months out from surgery but was able to return to sport activity after 3 months and now feeling normal. Required some mental changes in foods. I had blessings of neighbors who brought soups,etc. All in all I think it was worth it.

Good morning. I'm 72 and completed chemo and radiation a few weeks ago, and have surgery next week. I just wanted to write and say how grateful I am to read a positive message for a change. I am a long distance swimmer and hope I can continue swimming one day. Great to know you have your life back, and even greater to know that you think the surgery was worth it. Many thanks. Larry
