Nelie,

I am certainly not a Doctor, but based on your extensive treatment it seems unlikely that you have a recurrence. My doctors told me (at a stage III) that if I make it thru the 1st 1 1/2 years (next week w/scans)I am probably home free. It is a horrible and helpless feeling that you have, but have some faith in your docs. You are probably ok.

All my best,
Rob J.
