The doctors told you if you would have a recurrance after having radiation they wouldnt be able to help you. Thats alot of 'what ifs' in this statement. Please try not to even think that far ahead right now. I had radiation w/ chemo in 2007, a recurrance in 2008 that was taken care of with surgery. I had another recurrance in 2009, again taken care of with surgery. Hope this helps to ease your mind about the stats. Everyone is different, not many get to say they have had cancer 3 times in 3 years and lived to tell about it.

Your mobility in your arm should improve in time. It may not be 100% but it will get better. Your age will help you get thru this. The younger people tend to bounce back quicker.

I know going thru cancer is a terrifying time. Your hospital stay sounds like it was a long nightmare. Good thing you knew what was going on. Glad you have found OCF to help you thru. We are here to support you and will tell you the truth from a patients perspective.
