Emily,

Everything sounds super. At 2.5 years you are on the nearly to the "cured" point statistically. I've not read any studies on occurrence of long term side effects either.

The one thing I do know is age and health are factored into the treatment being recommended. The younger you are the more the selected treatment will strive to balance efficacy vs side effects.

Stay vigilant but put all the nasty thoughts in the closet and enjoy life!
