I would go for a second opinion, preferable at a CCC. There are a wide variety of factors that may determine the likelihood of a recurrence - tumor size, smoking history, genetic tumor characteristics to name a few. Another set of professional eyes on your case would be worth it. You don't want to be doing the cancer dance a second time.
