Thanks so much as ever for all the kindness. :)

I'll keep cheering on you, dude. Just a little longer. Though, I must say, reading that you could end up with impaired limb function triggers my
hypochondria to crazy levels. That's unfortunate, but yeah, small price to pay, it's for the best.

I can relate, due to my OCD I'm quite the hypochondriac myself; if it helps what I have is very rare, and it might work out that the graft goes perfectly and my leg ends up working just fine.

I was diagnosed with Stage III melanoma a little over a year ago.  Had this funky mole growing by my ear that I should have gotten checked out a lot sooner - but with everything going on at home I kept putting it off.  By the time I finally got it checked out it was so deep that they had to lop off part of my earlobe, as well as cut my throat open and rip out 6 lymph nodes. Had to get a drug infusion once a month for the past year, as well as a full body scan every 3 months. It’s been a scary ride - but I just celebrated 1+ year cancer free. Take it one day at a time, spend every second you can with the ones that you love and always keep your head up - you are not alone! Best wishes and keep up the good fight!

Wow, that's intense. Huge congrats on winning such a tough fight, and thanks heaps.

If your body's half as tough as your mental space, sounds, you'll kick this cancers arse :)

Aw, cheers man. :) The nurses did say they're very impressed at how well my body has held up to the radiation; I think that might be cos I'm a lot younger than most; pretty much all the other patients there are over 60 while I'm 30.

It's strange, I've always thought of myself as being very fragile mentally due to my sensitivities and anxiety, but I suppose I have gotten through a fair bit in my life so maybe I'm a lot tougher than I give myself credit for. I think most people don't give themselves enough credit on handling all that they do.

Always having to endure that because your brains functions differently makes you stronger when other things suddenly strike you,being an autist an having ocd myself i can tell you that my biggest hurdle is living with myself.
