I was wondering, for those of you who have had a recurrence....how did you know? What signs / symptoms did you have? Did you find it - or was it picked up by a scan or a checkup in the office?

I am not worried that I have a recurrence - however, I just want to know what to watch for. My doctor has told me the obvious things, a non-healing sore, any lump or bump that is new, a sore throat that persists etc.... But, i'd like to hear from real people - not a text book, on how they knew.
