This is my first time posting. Although my concern for a recurrence is very real and ever-present, I have been cancer free for 8 years. I hope that helps the newly diagnosed. I have been reading many of your posts for over a year but decided that I wanted to get to know some of my fellow survivors. I've actually felt rather sneaky reading your heartfelt thoughts, fears and concerns that I have had as well. Thanks to all of you for providing so much encouragement, hope and practical advice on dealing with a little understand cancer-we really are in it together!
