Gino,

I'm very glad you got that happy answer from some of the best experts around. I also hope you will stick around and provide your experience when necessary for new people who come here. I've been hanging around here for a year now and one thing that I've noticed happening here is people who don't go through rad tend to not stick around as long (since the support going through radiation is when many people really seem to find this community invaluable and also those of us who go through radiation tend to struggle more to return to a "normal" life after), and then when someone like you or Amy M shows up, the responses you get are from folks who weren't necessarily ever in your particular shoes. So please do check in once in a while!

Nelie
