Howdy folks,
I haven't been on the Forum for quite a while. I have a few things I could use a little survivor insight on and figured I'd get better answers here than I sometimes do at the doc.

Thankfully, I am still cancer-free since treatment ended in mid-2003. Like many others, I've been fighting the side effects of that treatment, some of it pretty aggressive, for the last 9 years.

So now I'm back, seeking some wisdom and hoping I can share some of the things I've learned with other forum members.

Best to all,
Jim in Pittsburgh
