Gary, another example of how different men and women react to their experience. I am more senior than you in terms of cancer encounter, not of age but I am still thinking of the disease every day. Luckily, I am just thinking but not worrying. When I wake up, I will tell myself how fantastic it is that I am still breathing,being able to enjoy my life in the way I like. My husband has long forgotten that I am a cancer survivor because sometimes he asked me to try some delicious spicy food not realising that the slightest spice would send me to the ceiling. I stared at him and then he remembered! About the recurrence rate, all along my oncologist told me that my chance of recurrence was very high, high, quite high. It was only in my last appointment in January that he said my chance has become very low now!He made my day.Yes, every day is a gift.
