Hi Dave, welcome to OCF! Its always nice to have survivors join. I saw the 1989 and hoped it wasnt for your age. I have a son born the same year. You are so young to have gone thru this. But that also has helped you to get thru the brutal treatments and surgeries a little easier than someone who is elderly (or even my age LOL). Congrats on the clear scan! As you found out, there are several members from Australia here.

Best wishes with your continued recovery!
