I was one of the first ones to post to you "way back then" and my message is still the same now...don't give up on yourself!!! Many of us on this site had nodal involvement and received concurrent chemorad and we're still here posting. I am only 10 months out and back to riding and in only my 3rd week back I have already put in 65 miles and will do another 50 this Sunday. In my prime I was averaging 100 miles a week so I am fully back.
Don't you dare give up on yourself now or I'll come over there and wup your butt!! I'll probably wait until you get a few more rads but then watch out.
