Do not bother worrying yourself about recurrence statistics. We are all afraid of the cancer coming back and everyone gets edgy around check up time. Most people do not face a recurrence. Im one that does not like to pay attention to statistics. If I would, then I should not be here! Continue to make the most of every day and try to put all this behind you. Best wishes with your husbands continued improvements!
