Visit yesterday was about what we expected: no sign of cancer now; recovery from IMRT is progressing normally; next appointment in 5 weeks; 1st PET scan in 3-4 months.

I wonder whether we should start researching treatment options in the event of a recurrance now. It seems better to be prepared for the worst while hoping for the best.

Is there anyone out there who is in treatment for a recurrance? What did you do?
