Welcome to the board Ed.

I was told the odds of recurrance are about 35%, which they considered high. I ended up in the 35% category and after the 2nd time I didn't ask any more questions about odds.

I remain vigilent (maybe too much?) about lumps, bumps, creaks and pains but at least I am still here to talk about it! Stay on top of this with your doctors - far better to be proactive then to have regrets later.

Let us know how your appointment/scan goes. In the meantime, we are here and know the fear you are talking about. Cancer not only steals days from the end of your life, but it is a thief that takes away the days we spend waiting and worrying as well. Try not to let it steal today. It doesn't deserve it!!
