Gosh, well thank you for your considered opinion on what having cancer is like. I shall bear it in mind in future.
I'm not sure I would describe an orchidectomy, chemotherapy and two years of hospital appointments, check-ups, blood tests and the constant terror of recurrence (resulting, of course, in that pesky 'limited side effect' death) as 'easily treated', but I'm sure you know best.
I've always been thankful that, as these things go, I had a relatively light brush from the cancer stick, but now I've read your wise words, I realise that I was really just being silly to make such a fuss.
I never have a flu jab and haven't had proper flu since I was a kid. My wife always gets it and then spends at least two days off sick in the following week. Anecdotal, of course, but there we are.
You gonna stick with the non-smoking? You've basically done the hard bit, so you might as well.
