Hi Karen and welcome,

There are a couple of people on this board from Texas. I'm in San Antonio. I had surgery and finished radiation on Jan. 25th of last year. But they found in September my cancer had spread to my liver. I was lucky enough to get in an investigational trial. So, I can't help alot on chemo questions. Still going through it.
Any questions that you might have about after effects of radiation and surgery there are a bunch of people on this board that are survivors and caregivers, someone usually has been there and has the t-shirt.
Since everyone is different you will get some different answers, but that is even more helpful to more people. Feel free to ask away.
And welcome to Texas.

Take care,
Dinah
