Im so sorry you have joined the recurrence club!!! It takes a while to get used to idea of dealing with the whole mess again. Once you get a treatment plan in place you will know whats going on and how invasive it will be. You have been thru alot! You now know all the jargon and hopefully have a top notch medical team in your corner. Those things will help you get thru this. Yes, some have had rads more than once, it can be done.

Good luck!!!
