We all go through crap with this cancer, both physically and mentally and some of us really have it worse than others. I was comparatively lucky (so far) in that I didn't have to have surgery so I'm not the best one to talk to you about the challenge you have been left with.
That said, I'm also not one to keep my mouth shut either so here goes....why would drop foot or any disability prevent you from managing an airport that you clearly enjoy?
When the going gets tough...
