Hello Michael,

Glad you now have a treatment plan. The battle begins!!! There is so much good advice posted above I just wanted you to know how many of us are pulling for you. So many of us were at the same stage you are now. We got through the treatment and you will to. Good luck on Wednesday, I'll be thinking of you and hoping for clean margins and a speedy recovery. Keep us posted and ask any question you can think of. Someone with similer treatment will respond.
Also measure your progress in weeks not days.
There will be light at the end of the tunnel, It may take you awhile to get there but you will.
