Alpaca, you are doing wonderfully! 2 weeks post-op, and you're already hitting the shops? Wow. And I admire the fact that you're managing your outlook with such discipline. Learning to live with some unknowns and uncertainties is part of adapting to life with/after cancer, and you've got it down. That's a skill I'm struggling with personally.

Do you by chance raise alpacas?
