Hi Chris, , a second welcome to the community,

May I invite you to add a bit to your profile so that folk can see where you are " coming from" b so you don't have to keep repeating yourself.

As says, keep up the positive attitude. It definitely helps.

Good luck with the chemo b surgery. Let us know how the op goes.

Fear of the unknown is the worst thing. Once we know what we're facing, we find the strength to deal with it.
