Hi Rowdy - great attitude - wishing you well with the adjustment of treatment. Love the saying "look for the magnificent in the mundane ".

Interesting to read your experience.
Wishing you all the best with treatment and yay all clear! Hope the aches settle and your new normal feels good!
To you both, sending you virtual hugs
Take care Christine xx
