Congratualtions Don! That is great news. I can't believe you're finding your taste so good - I'm still not 100% back in that area - although it does continue to improve. How are you doing for fatigue and stamina?

And as far as recurrence, like everything - we're all different. I know for my lymphoma it was quite a few years before I didn't think any little change in my body was a sign that it was back. I've been told that for OC, the first two years are the riskiest, but as we've seen here, it can come back at anytime. I really think that some worry about it is perfectly normal and to be expected.
