Hi Steven - I wanted to welcome a fellow Atlantan. I am sorry that I can't really answer your questions related to radiation and chemo side effects, as I did not have either, just surgery. But I can definitely relate to your fears about recurrence, as I think most of us here can. Unfortunately it's something that we all live with but I try hard not to let it overtake my life or thoughts. I have learned to be thankful for the good things in life, and not wait to enjoy them!!!
