I didn't have the ND and I was one of the lucky ones that recovered quickly but there is no norm with this cancer and the varied Txs we go thru so hang in there and never give up. Even in the best cases the recovery is measured in years not months. I even saw improvements close to 2 years post Tx. Heck I still might not be finished yet?
