Awesome... and hopefully rads and chemo was your stop gap... hopefully it's all gone and won't be back... EVER! ;o) Usually if cancer returns - that means it was never really gone unless you've hit the 3 year mark and suffer a recurrence - which would then be called a new primary - then it's generally within the first 2 years. It sometimes happens after that but the highest incidence is within 2 years. The more aggressive the faster it will return. hugs.
