You have found a great place to find info and support. Sorry to hear about the possible recurrence. You have done it once and can get thru it again! Hope you are able to get a second opinion at a cancer center. That way a team will be able to work together on your case and come up with the best treatment option for you. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Best wishes with everything you are facing.
