There have been several members who have had radiation more than once. Its on a case by case basis. I know of 3 who have done it 3 times. They do have their quality of life issues but they have adapted and do the best they can.

When a patient is backed into a corner and their choices are to do nothing and quit before you even try to beat it or to try to get treated most people would choose to try. I was faced with this decision when I had my 3rd diagnosis of OC. I almost did nothing and let nature take its course. As a single mother I thought the easiest thing on my children would be for me to prepare them for my death while I was still in 'good' health. But because of Brian Hill and the members of this forum who became my dear friends, I gave it a shot and went thru with having my jaw removed. I do have some issues but nothing I complain about as it sure beats not being here at all. I think anyone who is handicapped would say the same thing, its better to be alive and have 'issues' than not to be here.

It sounds to me like you are one of the lucky ones who got sick, went thru treatments and was able to bounce back and resume your regular life. Recovery can be long and I see you had your feeding tube for a long time. But, you are very fortunate! Non smokers who have HPV+ OC have much better statistics with both response to treatment and their odds of recurrence. Plus the longer you are past date of being treated and declared NED the less odds of a recurrence. Congrats on your successful treatment and living a good healthy life
