I have always avoided posting the same post twice in two different forums before but I'm making an exception here since I know that many OCF posters do not read the "recurrence" forum and many do not use the active topics submenu of active posts, but read mainly this general forum and the introduce yourself forums. so here is an edited version of my post there.
[quote]The conventional wisdom is that if you survive 5 years, you are out of the woods. But when does that 5 years start: at DX or when TX is completed. Even more importantly on a personal level, does the 5 year clock get "reset" when the Cancer comes back. I have gotten different answers from different doctors.
What have your doctors told you?[/quote]
