Ive been there and know how devastated you must feel about the cancer returning. Keep your chin up, there are plenty of us 2 and 3 timers still around. Most important with recurrences is getting the very best medical care at a top notch facility. That will give you the best chance for winning this round of OC. Glad to hear you are going for a second opinion.
Best wishes!!!
