Tony,

First: you might want to start a new thread (topic) so we can reply just to your questions.

Second, we have many members who have had the exact procedures you have had and a good deal of them have been around for a number of years, so plan on sticking around.

Having said that, you can ask us anything here, we have all had some varient of this disease and its treatments. Some, like I, have had earlier stage cancer with less treatment, others have had much more extensive surguries and treatments then you. We are all here for each other though, so you are in good company
