Michele - I understand the fear you are experiencing, I have been there for sure! I am over 2 years out but have had several scares that required biopsies and/or additional diagnostic scans. Luckily, all of them were negative. The waiting and worrying is an awful thing, but perhaps you can take comfort in the fact that quite a few of us have gone through the same experience, and been convinced the cancer is back, only to find out that everything is OK.... I really understand your feelings, though, believe me, and hope that helps a little...
