hi Davidcpa, looks like we are twins , same age same cancer, i start treament sept9, need chemo 3 times a week and radiation 5 times a week for 7 weeks unless the chemo damges my hearing then i go to really expensive chemo 40,000.00 for 8 doses but may damage my kidneys what joy! I used to ride my bike too was riding about 100 miles aweek too couple years ago I rode 100 miles in one day, im 58 dont smoke or drink (quit 13 yrs ago)havnt been in a hospital for about 50 years now thats all i will do and the more i read about this the harder it is to be super positive , its like a dark cloud that just hangs over me . i tell my co-workers dont worry about me im going to beat this , but inside lots of doubts
