Hi Ann
I recovered really quickly after the stc but unfortunately when I was diagnosed I had a tumour in my neck which had to be removed and my neck and spine stabalised with metal pins, so my head is now in a fixed position, can't move it either side or up and down which has left me disabled. I also have nine fratures in my spine but despite this I would say I live a very active life and there is not much I cant do,apart from drive of couse. So don't worry about the time frame given, just go for it and stay positive Everybody seems to react differently to the treatments but I do believe positive thinking helps and I hope after you have recovered it won't be too long before you are back at work and enjoying life to the full.
Good Luck
Liz
