  • Hello Carl,

     Hope your cancer journey goes well for you.Forward knowledge of what to expect is complicated by the fact that each persons cancer can be unique to themselves. What is shared in common is that it is a difficult time and a disruption in your life.

    The only advice that is revelant at the outset is to accept where you are,keep your mental stress down to a minimum to help your body focus on healing itself, keep your fitness and nutrition levels in good order before the Op, and be prepared to appreciate that Rome was not built in a day in your subsequent recovery.

    The time out of your life you lose at the beginning will be repaid in spades as you bounce back out to full health having allowed yourself in providing the optimum personal environment to have done so

    safe journey,

    David
