Thank you for your response. I will look into the Imerman Angles program. As I work through finishing chemo and radiation, which has been fairly mild to date, I will began to assemble my thoughts toward the surgery. Post surgery recovery, are you experiencing fatigue? Would you say you are back to living your life doing the same things you did prior to being diagnosed? Would you say your recovery took 4-6 months, or longer? I am very active and that is probably my biggest concern. I know every situation is different and people heal differently. Frankly the surgery scares the hell out of me as it seems to be so invasive. But I want to see my grandkids grow up, so I am prepared for whatever God sends my way. I may reach out to you moving forward if questions come up. I hope things continue to go well for you. Thanks.

Post surgery I did experience fatigue. Some days I have more energy than others. I had my surgery end of September and I would say it took a month and a half to two months to get back to eating soft foods and feeling more like myself. Prior to, I wasn’t a very active person but since my surgery I have started going to the gym and walking every day.
My life is different now, It’s definitely been an adjustment. Some days I can do more than others, and that’s ok. It’s important to listen to your body and give yourself grace when your having tougher days. I’d say I’m still recovering but with everyday that passes it gets better.
Just try to stay positive. You’re going to kick cancers a** and be there to see your grandkids grow up.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Please reach out to me if you have any questions or if you just need someone to talk to.
