Hello Fellow Tom: It appears that you have started with early detection and treatment. That's the way to keep ahead of the problem. Over the years I've had several surgeries and radiation. While going through these things, they are not fun! That said, I started these activities in 2003 and all these years later I'm continuing to enjoy an active life. I don't know if I can tell you anyting more about what to expect or how to navigate other than "Carpe diem". Tom C
