Thank you Jay! The further you’re from this ordeal, the better it gets, so take one day at a time! You’re right in the mix of it right now, and luckly I wasn’t a member here until I was three years out from my first treatment lol, even then, I wasn’t listening much, but I soon found positivity here I hadn’t heard before. Soon, and if you like, you’ll be giving sound advise, in addition, your posts and questions may be helping someone in a similar situation who may be reading them, so you're already helping others knowing it or not.

Btw, we share a MI, which I had last June, so pretty much we’re both lucky with that too!

Here’s to your successful treatment!
