Hi Bill and welcome. There is a world of information here and lots of great folks to help answer questions, motivate, and get you through the next steps of your journey. It's wonderful that you have met someone to inspire you. I met one of those "special folks" during my chemo treatments as well. Mr. Davis is in his 70's, a ten year cancer survivor, being treated again for another tumor, still working full time, and so positive and full of energy. The first time I met him we shared a room in the chemo unit. I think the nurses may have had something to do with that as I was getting my second chemo cycle and the radiation was starting to beat me up. He really lifted my spirits and inspired me that day.

Anyway, keep that kind of attitude no matter what and it will help you. Davidcpa recently made a great post about his journey through radiation and he mentions the mental part of the battle which I feel is so important to us.

Attitude helps!!!
Best wishes,

Steve
