@girafe well I saw my oncologist today and my scans were clear I’m in remission now. I see the surgeon on Thursday to have a scope done hopefully he won’t see anything either. But the thing is they’re wanting me to choose more chemo to prevent cancer in the future. Without it I have a 72% chance of it not coming back in 3yrs. My diagnosis is a T13X it seems none of the studies done were for someone in my situation. I’ll be 71 yrs old and I’m not sure if I want to go through chemo again.

@girafe the oncologist I saw after surgery was more like a pushy salesman.
Totally unimpressed.
Much better experience after our move to Florida.
