I don't envy your cancer but I wish I could walk two miles. The orthopedic surgeon wants to fuse my ankle to stop the pain but he can't guarantee it will stop the pain (WTF?). The problem is once it's fused, it's done. They're working on replacements so I'd rather wait for that.

I had a total knee replacement in my 40s.
Due to a previous large bone tumor taken out earlier
I have complications from that along with the TKR.
Lower back and hip about gone also. Also will have sooner or later a TKR on the other knee which is gone.
Had to work full time after each surgery.
