Wecome to our home Mickey. It depends on your outlook on things as they happen. Have a good positive attitude, faith in the Lord and keep the Angels with you. I have been thru rads, chemo, rad seed inplants in my tongue while in a coma along with many surgeries. Was given up for dead and readied to be put in extended care because the coma didn;t end as it should and I was out a few days longer then planned. But I knew I would make it and did. I drove myself to all of my treatments alone and survived. I still do everything myself but am too harheaded to ask for help. You will be fine with the attitude you seem to have. Good luck guy.
