Sorry to hear of your struggles, Alcuin. I will include you in my prayer towards a quick and complete recovery.

^ Agreed with Battalion. I don't think I have ever played with you, though my memory escapes me. I wish you and your family the best in these times. Godspeed.

all things considered, you have a great outlook!
I hope and pray all goes well with your treatment and hey, maybe, just maybe when you are all done and all better (notice WHEN you are ALL BETTER!), you might be left with superhuman powers?

@Alcuin: Luck to you in the New Year 2014!
While you may lose some hair, it shall grow back, maybe greyer.
You will find that you are closer to your companion who accompanies you to the Therapies, but you may also find that you can drive away a long distance to work or to study.
Et in Arcadia ego is not your motto.
Gaudete aut excelsior

I wish you all the best for your next year Alcuin.

Thank you kindly everyone.
@Tomahaha, Oh yes, it's definitely When, I'm not worried about that in the slightest but the superhuman powers seem unlikely, after all I've already been bitten by a radioactive spider but no wall-crawling abilities.

@taylor4 the cancer is "down there", so the hair I'm losing is pubic and won't show so visibly. But as for driving, I'm afraid I never learned how.

@everybody. I've been off work since 2 October and am likely to go back in late February/early March 2014. In the meantime, I have 40% of a novel and 60% of an album created so who knows, I may not HAVE to go back to work. ;)

wow, just imagine the powers you will have with radiation "down there"!
...Ladies LOOK OUT!

and as far as losing pubic hair,
grass doesn't grow on a playground does it?

Best of luck to you Alcuin

My last day of radiation treatment is tomorrow. I've managed not to miss any turns in that time, but I'm glad I didn't start any new games. Apart from fatigue, I seem to have minimal side effects, so I may be in the market for a nice house in Pripyet.
