For you and your Mom what would you change about your relationship if it did return?

How about 5 years?
I'm going to guess your relationship with your mom wouldn't change.
Please let this next few words settle firmly in your mind: No one can predict or know what will happen in the future. The cancer may or may not come back. Don't beat yourself up worrying about it. That would be a waste of time. Keep her doctors worrying about it. Make sure she gets frequent checks. That is why they make the big bucks.
Mark, 21 Year survivor, SCC right tonsil, 3 nodes positive, one with extra-capsular spread. I never asked what stage (would have scared me anyway) Right side tonsillectomy, radical neck dissection right side, maximum radiation to both sides, no chemo, no PEG, age 40 when diagnosed.
