I am so sorry to hear that you have a recurrence Angela.
Your post hit home with me as I am coming up to my 5 years in 2 months.
Best wishes for your upcoming surgery. Please keep us updated.
As Christine says there are people here who have had 2 or 3 recurrences.
Charm...thank you for your input as I certainly found it helpful to read.
