As I read all your posts I just get the feeling that you may not be taking this cancer seriously. BTW were any of your nodes positive? Stage I (depending upon the last question's answer) doesn't mean your home free. I have seen many Stage I's not make it, as in died so please be prepared to fight this cancer with everything you may need to stop it the first time.
Talking tough is fine but this cancer is not killed by tough talk.
