SaltyDog

Happy to have you back. I am also a Lung Cancer Survivor. I was luck because I didn't require treatment. They removed All the Cancer the first time. 25% of my right upper lobe & I was fishing in 4 weeks. The life of a Plumber.

The Lung was my second time with Cancer.

Congrats salty and welcome back.
Likewise, congrats and best wishes to our other survivors.
My father-in-law just came through surgery etc and, after nearly 50 years working stone, is already hankering to get back out on a building site ;)
Great to have you all with us.
All the best, Justin

Welcome back.  My father-in-law passed in January from lung cancer, so hearing about anyone making it through this horrible disease is wonderful news.  Keep up the fight.
