I did everything medically that was asked of me.

You know, like I mentioned, I agreed to... more than the usual amount of radiation.

I stayed a patient of Peter Mac following my surgery, I think for 10 years.

I did like, I think five is the normal, but just for my own peace of mind i used to go back once a year just for my scans and check up just to make sure everything was good until i something in my head i thought once i get to 10 i'll feel good about it and um i don't know why i'm still here i'm just so grateful that i am um i don't know if it was only um i guess the surgery and medical side i really think your mindset is the most powerful drug.
