Michele - I'm so sorry to read about your worry and hope that it proves unfounded. I'm sure others with recurrence experience will be weighing in with excellent opinions.

It sounds as though your anxiety is beginning to get the better of you. And the fact that you're alone doesn't help. If you are having actual physical symptoms (and believe me, I'm a huge worrier so I know how you're feeling) you should try and describe them so people will be better informed.

Think of this forum as a place where you can come whenever you need to, ask any questions, rant to your heart's content... and we'll all understand and support you.

My thoughts are with you.
