Bill, please get help. I started out with surgery, followed by nearly 8 weeks of radiation, with 3 chemo sessions spread throughout the 8 weeks. I wasn't that much younger than you when I was diagnosed, and I didn't hesitate. I am two years out of treatment, and while the treatments were awful, I don't regret any of it. I am still here, thank God, and have been able to spend time with my first grandchild, who I might never have met if I hadn't had the treatments. Good luck to you. Everyone here is rooting for you!
