Hi Ammon:
I welcome you also to your new family, one that is large, with several who share pretty much your exact diagnosis. It may take a little while for them to find your post, but be patient, they will read and make comments you will find useful.

While waiting on them to provide the technical information you seek, the rest of us will give you general guidance that will help make the rest of the journey a little more tolerable.

I have not had a recurrence, but I know of many who have. Bart, who responded above has had more than one, yet he maintains a wonderfully positive attitude and shares that with everyone on the forum. He helped me immensely to develop the right frame of mind regarding cancer and treatment early on after I joined the family. Get to know him by reading what he writes. Developing that right mind frame is maybe one of the most important things you can do to help yourself through this and any future battles.

Sadly, not everyone learns how to do that, and their psychology pays a very heavy price because of it. I know of at least one who couldn't get past worrying about everything, nor how to shake it off and move forward in a positive manner. That person, a dear friend has pretty well left the forum when they need the support the most.

So, as was said above keep yourself busy with postive things that you like to do. Don't give the worry bug a chance to enter the picture. Keep writing what you are going through and asking questions. We will help get you through this.

Tony
