I had the procedure in March 2023, all went well and feeling stronger. I have three other cancers that have been operated on and now receiving ongoing treatment. I appreciate that people cope in different ways,  a wise man once said "there's more happiness in giving than receiving" I find that not allowing myself to become consumed by illness and thinking about others and their needs works for me! Each morning I plan an achievable goal, I try and make people around me feel good,  if someone has a problem, I listen without bringing myself into the conversation  and where possible offer solutions. There are so many good things in life to enjoy, sometimes we just have to work through the pain and appreciate them. Hope this helps!, Eddie.
