I agree with everyone Diane.
I remember when we were finishing up and I was in the panic mode of "what if", it seemed to me there was always a recurrence happening. But others are right, the folks giving the most advice are the ones that have experienced the most and they have the most to share to help all of us.
Kevin is now over the one year mark and we are looking to the future. I used to almost obsess about recurrence on an hourly basis, but now I rarely think about it, until I read something on here that scares me. My sister says I shouldn't come on the forums, but I feel like I received a tremendous amount of help here and would like to return the favor. I have been busy with my 88 year old Mom lately so haven't been as attentive as I would like, but there are many of us, so it's ok. I do keep track everyday, just don't always post.
Anyway, just think of yourself as being part of the cured club when you're done and keep plugging away!!
Good for Paul doing so much for himself! That's just great!
Merry Christmas,
Kathy
