    Lung. I had the rest of my right lung removed in Feb 2012 and have gained 20 lbs since then. Time to lose those 20 plus a few more.

    I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer in 2011 at age 45. Had salvage radiation treatments in 2013 because PSA levels where continuing to rise. First post radiation PSA check was very good at .009. Hopefully they continue to go down to an undetectable level. Will have recurring checks every 6 months. Just joined MFP and found this group. Will be walking the Biggest Loser Half Marathon in Las Cruces NM on January 26th.

    Vocal cord cancer - finished radiation in July after 3 surgeries didn't do the trick. Going in every three months for follow ups.
