Emily, its great that you are doing so well. Keep up the great work!!!

As far as long term after effects, hopefully this will not be an issue for you. Your age (as far as I know) seems to be an asset. Younger patients tend to bounce back quicker and are able to go on to manage their health very well. Im sorry but I dont know of any studies that have been done to scientifically prove this. Its what Ive seen on this forum over the years. But there are always exceptions to every rule, some Stage I patients will struggle and pass away while other Stage IV patients sail right thru and survive. No rhyme or reason except everyone is different and will respond in their own unique way to everything.

Go out and live your life to its fullest. You are a survivor and hopefully you will have many, many happy, healthy years ahead
