HOPEFUL: You have gone through a lot. Much will depend on your attitude and faith, as both have been shown to be of huge benefit in coping with chronic disease. Hard to predict disability outcomes precisely, but suggest you participate in rehab, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and maybe acupuncture. Get onto good diet, exercise, social life. Good luck!

Disabilities after: I think i can clarify a little....Most of your major disabilities after all of this treatment are mostly related to disabilities you may have acquired surgically. The radiation can have an impact on your hearing if the inner ear apparatus was radiated, fatigue, and neurocognitive changes - ie slowed thought processing and issues with short term memory long term.
