Mark,
Give your body and cycling a little credit - it kept it out of your lymph nodes, which in turn let you avoid chemo with the radiation.

Regardless of your prognosis, it's a challenge to stay positive and not cloud your days with the shadows of the future. You've got some fatigue going from the radiation treatment as well as the trauma of the fact of the cancer itself: both of these will take time to resolve. In getting back to his (horseback) riding, my husband would push himself a little more each time, and get more rest and sleep than he thought reasonable. Like Eric says, its exercise AND rest.

I like Charm's description of sidestepping bad thoughts very much. Some of the meditation techniques might prove useful.

At times I feel very fortunate to have found it early and I had very few side effects from the radiation. At other times I get really mad because it didn�t get caught sooner. I was seeing my GP every two weeks from August to November, he kept telling me it�s not cancer because there is pain. Finally, he agreed to send me to an ENT and within minutes I started hearing the �C� word. Our GP is usually very good and I have a lot of trust in him.

Charms advice is excellent, it�s going to take awhile for it to sink in, as I am not always the sharpest tool in the shed. I�ll work on my signature, some of the terms I don�t understand yet.

"he kept telling me it�s not cancer because there is pain"

Good heavens. Your GP's the one that not the shapest tool in the shed.
