Hi @Alola, mine was diagnosed initially last July, with surgery in Aug. I too take hope from colleagues who have been through the same, one of whom has just now hit the 5 year milestone. it's certainly a journey.
Good luck with your test results and just make the decision that feels right for you. There are no right and wrong answers no pass or fail! just whatever makes you feel good.
I'm away this week, taking the kids to the Gold Coast for a "proper Aussie holiday" Booked this just after the surgery to give us something to look forward to. Hoping the weather stays good.
Good Luck
Aine
