Hello, Ilyse.

Thank you for sharing your story and emphasizing that it is so important to listen to your own body. You certainly are a survivor. Best of luck with the gamma knife. I don't know a lot about it either, but I'm sure there are some people here that could give you some advice/info.

Be well,
Kerri

Hi Ilyse. Thanks for your reply...

I also had stage 1, all nodes clear. had mi 1st control exams, all clear... but I´m really afraid reading about your case and knowing that it came back 10 years later.

How come? my doctor said if it do not come back in 5 years the chance is the same of anyone in the world. I´m really afraid!

As soon you get the lungs report just let us know! Hope it´s just inflammation. There´s a lot of cases like that.
