                        I was 66 when I developed lung cancer two years ago.  My left lung was completely  removeed.  I subsequently had radiation and chemo treatments.  The chemo treatment, aside from the loss of a good deal of my hair, was not bad at all.  I never lost my strength nor energy.  My hair grew back fuller and thicker than ever.  I would have no reservations on your part if I were you.  Actually, the radiation was worse for me.  The very best of luck!!!!!
