If it makes you feel any better, I was also referring to my 1970s-era experimental radiation therapy as "brutal back then". I can't watch The Exorcist now because of the 70s medical equipment they show for her neuro tests- I get flashbacks. I'm 32 and I've felt like I've been in my late 40s since I was about 14 years old.

My great-grandfather was radiated for lymphoma in the 60s and I'm amazed he survived another 20 years.

I'll be 7 months in a week or so, things are looking good so far. As of yesterday, we were both still alive, anyway.
