Hi SYLV1E​ that's a really good question, I reckon I will say 'recovering from' after my surgery and then 'had' or 'having treatment for' while having radiotherapy.

Good Luck with your journey 🙂

      Ohh indeed! Once you become medically involved , it is all very basic humanity, with no space left for dignity. At our very centre, we as humans, are all the same, so please don’t concern yourself.
