Hi Tippie!
I had TORS last July, definitely not pleasant but was up and about very soon after. Personally I was happy about the idea of cutting the tumor out. I also had radiation...no walk in the park, but I had a much easier time of it than most, and for that I am very thankful. Please feel free to PM me with any questions you might think of.
