Very glad to hear your story from you yourself v. an obituary writer. Well done.
I read a fascinating book by
Grant Archatz, a world class chef that was found to have Stage IV tongue cancer just as he was about to open what became the top-ranked restaurant in the US. Very much worthy of a read.
He spends considerable time on the effects of the treatment. Strangely, I can't recall if he resorted to the weed...
