Yep... Exactly, Shemp is 100 % right.

My personal advice is: stick what the doctors order, although therapy is usually very hard on you. Before it's too late.
It can move very, very fast.

I know what radical surgery is and radiotherapy too.
Had it twice, 8 years ago.

Couldn't eat for weeks - couldn't even drink water because of pain... Imagine trying to swallow a razor with every sip.
Had to mix water and milk with painkillers to drink anything.

Weighted about 58 kg at the end of the therapy (normally over 90).

But I'm glad I went through it till the end and did not give up in the middle of the radiotherapy sessions. I'm still alive and it's been wonderful 8 years and I'm fucking grateful to my doctor...

Sorry for this but some of the other posts here are just bullshit.
