Hi to whoever reads this.
62 old guy here, a survivor by nature, still active in many aspects and healthy(?).
I was first surprised to know I had cancer, no symptoms, then was surprised how well my recovery went and now here I am surprised I need chemo.
It is stage 3, it left the bowels but hasn't spread to other organs. They found traces in 5 out of 32 lymph nodes and in blood vessels.
Reading other people's suffering in these forums is so humbling, makes me almost ashamed to introduce my case.
Still haven't talked to the oncology team, but was hoping to know from anyone, what lays ahead for me.
Any light?
Thanks!
