Breifly here is what my doc said yesterday. My chemo oncologist told me she counts from the original date. I questioned her and she said the doctors there all count it the same. My opinion conflicts with this as I think it should be restarted to count from the recurrance's end of treatment date.
I know for life insurance they are going to count it from the last date of being cancer free.
For some reason, I kinda remember this being discussed before. Im very interested in hearing what Brian's take on this is.
