The 2008 updated guidlines also further clarifies for me what follow up exams should be performed for my Dx.
I will print out your replies and the relevant pages for my Dx from the protocols and take it with me when I have the 2 year check soon.
Karen,
how is your husband doing now and did you get any further information from the surgeon re no chemo or radiation required?
Cheers
Gabriele
