A weird but serious question.

Wishing both of you guys a speedy recovery.

Great advice! Go strong and celebrate after.

No issues with radiation but there are potential issues with magnetic fields from radiology equipment. Good luck with the treatment and the disease; praying for both your full recoveries.

Your health and recovery are far more important, and I truly wish you a full and speedy recovery. On the watch front, I don't believe a mechanical watch would be affected. However, it could be that if a radioactive substance is being used to treat the cancer, and not a beam of charged particles, some of the material may get loose and attach or adhere itself to your watch. If that is the case, just to be cautious, I might just not wear the watch during the procedure, or , if your watch is highly WR, you can wash your watch later, again just in case.

Thank you everyone for the kind replies. They are appreciated. I will give updates as they are available. In the meantime I will enjoy this forum to keep my mind off things and as someone suggested, may start shopping for a new watch to celebrate the occasion when I get the all clear from my oncologist.

This puts the saying "so many watches, so little time" in a whole new light. Happy to say my wife of 38 years is my rock. She has been just great and supportive threw all this. Maybe I will have her and my 2 boys pick one out for me. It would make the watch even more special.
