Hi everyone!

First of all, please know that I sincerely appreciate everyone's input.

Jerry, I'm very happy for you and hope your restored health stays with you for a very long time. Needless to say, I was really hoping to have "finished" with this whole ordeal after surgery myself. The fact that there's a good possibility (as my doctors continuously reiterate) that I'm currently cancer free makes the decision to have radiation particularly difficult. Nonetheless, based on everything I've read and everything I've been told, it's just too risky to forgo rad-treatment.

I have to tell you guys, and please excuse my vulgarity, but I'm scared shitless about this whole process! The thought of gradually getting burned during the course of six weeks, and having much of my healthy tissue obliterated, just disturbs me. I have to somehow get mentally prepared for this, and I'm not sure how to.

Any advise?

Gino
