and welcome to the forum. I was Dx'd 3 years and 2 days ago and went through treatment about the same time you are. It's actually not a bad time of year to be treated. I agree with your doctors - hit it with all you've got.
I quit smoking in the 70's myself and drinking in 1995. I too never thought that I would have an oncologist for a regular doctor.
