This one is for members that have been diagnosed with a recurrence. I just want to keep this on track, as I think it would help those of us struggling with this cancer again. With that said, I went four years with clean results and never had a day that I didn't at least think about cancer coming back. The fear of it lessens over time but doesn't go away. Minnie
