You didn't give us any details about the pre and cancerous conditions that you have had other than it required 6 surguries. Where was the cancer? What type of surgery did you have? The more details you give us, the better we can relate to your particular path on the road with this disease. Everyone's experience is different.
If you notice, most of us have placed our dates of diagnosis and treatment plan in our signature on the profile and comes up with each post. This makes for easy reference. You might want to consider doing this after you have given us the full details, assuming you are willing to share them with us.
Take care, Eileen
